About this product

Model:  baader-2457000A
Part Number:  2457000A

The Baader Universal Quick Release finder base (finder-shoe) is compatible with most standard finder brackets and some red dot finders. The base can also be used as an additional base on telescopes that don't already have a finder shoe in a convenient position.

Suitable for most Skywatcher and Celestron telescopes and many others
CNC machined with a curved base and elongated holes for a good fitting to almost any telescope, including Schmidt-Cassegrains (SCT).

The Baader finder base has two elongated holes for screws up to M5, with either a countersunk head or a flat cylindrical head. Spacing between the screws is 27-45mm. In addition the base has a central countersunk hole for screws up to M5.

Screws and nuts are not included.

Solid and straightforward to fit
Wednesday, 18 September 2019  | 

This is a well-made and solid-feeling shoe which firmly secured the finder to the OTA. To fit it to my Heritage 130p, I removed the primary mirror and covered the secondary with a plastic bag to prevent dust/scatching. I marked up the outside of the tube with a pencil and drilled three 5mm holes with a HSS bit, directly vacuuming away the metal debris. I then used three 8mm M5 black countersunk socket screws and nuts (not supplied with the shoe) to attach the shoe. These screws are short enough that they don't protrude into the mirror's working aperture.

I bought a Sky-Watcher 9x50mm RACI finder at the same time, which sits firmly in the shoe with the screws done up exactly as it should!

The only thing that would make this shoe better is if bolts/nuts were supplied with it.

I bought this because I wasn't happy with the cast item my scope came with. This clamp has precise machined dovetail and very well made finish. The shoe of my finder scope fits perfectly. A nice upgrade for your scope! I am much more confident in my guide camera tracking well now. Excellent
