Product Description

We offer both low profile and high profile finder scope rings that fit a large variety of telescopes. Our rings use rails that are the most common in the industry with a dovetail shape for easy quick connect and disconnect. Choose the configuration you need listed below and select the part number above to get the ring system that will fit your particular telescope.

Mounting to a Newtonian Reflector: Select the R050 AT above. It has the lightweight FB shoe.

Mounting to a Camera Tripod like a telescope: Select the R050 C. Please note this is only for use with our 50 mm finder scopes.

Mounting to a Refractor Focuser that has a standard dovetail shoe: Select the R050 DA above. This high profile stalk has a dovetail shape at the bottom for attaching it to finder scope dovetail shoes used on Stellarvue refractors and many others.

Mounting to a Refractor Mounting Ring: Select the R050 ET above. This uses the FB shoe with a machined adapter (FBR) that attaches it to the top of a 1" wide telescope mounting ring.

Mounting to some Refractor Focusers that do not have a shoe: Select the R050 FA above. This one uses an FB shoe. Check the FB drawing above and make sure the slots on the FB match the threaded hole spacing on your focuser. It may be necessary to place small washers under the FB shoe when attaching it to your focuser so it does not bend.

Mounting to a Schmidt Cassegran Telescope (SCT): Select the R050 ST above. This one uses the larger FBD shoe. Check the FBD drawing above and make sure the slots on the shoe have the correct spacing for your SCT. It generally fits 8" and larger SCT's.

Note: We do not supply these with attachment screws. Many SCT mirror cells use threaded holes that are open and if too long a screw is used it can strike and damage the mirror. So use the appropriate length screw that will not extend into the mirror cell deeper than the screws you remove from these threaded holes.

Mounting to a Takahashi Refractor: Select the R050 TAK above.

Mounting your Finder Scope to a Telescope Mount using a Vixen-size Rail: Select the R050 V above. This allows you to attach the finder to a mount as if it is a telescope. Please note the Vixen rail is a telescope rail not the smaller finder scope rail.

R050AT

Posted by David McPherron on 24th Aug 2020

Would have given it 5 stars except for the base. The slots for the mounting screws were not quite wide enough for the holes on the telescope (Celestron 9 1/4 edgeHD) and the recessed channel too narrow for the screw heads on telescope. However, a small round and flat file took care of it. Other than that it's a very nice product with real steel nylon tipped screws for the finder scope.

David: Are you saying that the channel is too narrow? Were you using button head screws? We are always seeking input like this so we can make sure what we make is hassle free so I would appreciate your input. Thank you. Vic Maris

50-60mm finder rings

Posted by Kevin Nugent on 19th Aug 2020

I used these rings to mount the Stellarvue 10X60 RACI finderscope and it was an simple procedure. I like the dual rail locking knobs as well as the rail bolt that prevents the scope mount from sliding out the bottom of the dovetail. Finally the plastic tipped adjustment knobs are simple to adjust and don't mark up the scope body. Nice piece of kit.

R050AT rings

Posted by David on 21st Jun 2019

Fits my F050G guide scope perfectly. Well crafted and solid. I moved the rings onto a longer vixen bar to mount on top of the clamshell rings of my imaging scope.

Finder Rings - nearly perfect

Posted by Don Martin on 16th Feb 2019

The screw tips are nylon to protect the finder. Very nice!

The base that mounts to the scope has two slots along the centerline. When I tightened down on the screws to hold it down, the base bent along the centerline.

I was able to straighten it out. Then I used the two additional screw slots arranged perpendicular to the centerline, and put the screws near the ribs along the outer edge. That fixed it and it works fine. Nevertheless, Stellarvue should reinforce the lengthwise slots to prevent this from happening.

Fine mount, but lacking the necessary Allen screws. . .

with which to mount the finderscope on the SV clamshell. These are easily attainable from your local hardware store, however.

Nice product!

Posted by Steve on 9th Mar 2017

These look and feel very nice. They easily attach to my Orion dob reflector and do an admirable job of helping me adjust my Stellarvue finderscope so that it is properly aligned.
