PatrickO Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Can anyone tell me what sort of finder will fit on this? I prefer a red dot finder. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franklin Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Baader Skysurfer III comes with multiple foot adaptors, I'm sure one would fit. Looks like the Bresser style foot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 That is a Meade / Bresser / Explore Scientific finder mount. This sort of finder fits it: You can replace those with a Skywatcher compatible finder mount which will fit a wider range of finders. One of these or something like it: RVO SCT Universal Finder Base - Rother Valley Optics Ltd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zermelo Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I've replaced the mounts on my two Bresser with generic Synta-style versions from eBay, you can pick them up for as little as £8. To re-use the original screw holes, you need to open up the mount's slots slightly with a needle file, as they're not quite long enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
