Extended Finder Dovetail Mount

This was built for a friend who wanted to swap his 8x50 finder scope between his Celestron 11" Schmidt-Cassegrain and his Takahashi FS-102 refractor. The standard dovetail base provided by Celestron wasn't tall enough and didn't have the correct mounting hole spacing. This is a copy of the dovetail top of the Celestron base extended higher and machined for mounting on the Takahashi 28mm bolt centers.

Original and new part.
