Product Details
Standard Synta-style dovetail base for finder brackets. Features four holes - two perpendicular to the optical axis and two along the optical axis. Drilled to accept M5 machine screws (and can accept M4 screws as well).
The base is made of die-cast metal and features a large thumbscrew lock. Center-to-center screw hole spacing to use the holes on your telescope must be 18.6mm (0.76") in order for this dovetail base to be compatible (perpendicular to the optical axis). Fits tubes 3.25" and larger in tube diameter (not telescope aperture), as well as flat surfaces.
Please see the photos above for detailed dimensions and to determine compatibility with your telescope or finder/finder bracket - we are unable to make specific recommendations about compatibility. Please also note that the hole spacing for the two additional screws along the optical axis (one of which is used for attaching this base to a focuser) is not fixed. Since only one screw hole is to be used at a time, this is not an issue.
Finish may be smooth black or hammertone gray, depending on available stock. Style of large silver locking thumbscrew may vary.
Additional Information
When ordering any Vixen style dovetail base (shoe), bar or plate, please note that there are two different size standards and applications in the industry. A Vixen/Synta dovetail base for this Agena product is smaller and generally has a slot opening to accommodate 32-34mm finder bracket dovetails. A Vixen base/clamp/saddle for mounts and telescopes is wider at 42-44mm. The two are not the same and are not interchangeable.
Please check the specifications of this item provided above to ensure that it will be compatible with your accessory before purchasing
