ASKAR Multi-Connection Finder Plate MCP90 Finderscope Shoe for FRA400/5.6
This finderscope shoe or clamp is compatible with the narrower, trapezoid shaped finderscope bases (i.e. Skywatcher finderscope bases). Many red dot finders, some guidescopes and the ASIAIR PRO also come with such a trapezoid-shaped base that has a width at the bottom of appr. 33-34mm
It fits nicely the ASKAR FRA400 and other Sharpstar and Askar telescopes as well and most likely many other brands. It would fit directly to the tube rings of the FRA400, but we also managed to install it on top of the hadle of the Sharpstar 100Q.
The external width is similar to the width of a Vixen-style dovetail bar (45mm), so this could be fixed on top of a Vixen-style dovetail bar. The internal width is smaller than the Vixen-style dovetail bar, so that won't fit inside of it.
The model number (MCP90) refers to the distance between the two wholes at the ends, i.e. 90mm centre-to-centre.
Featured with 5 threaded holes with UNC 1/4" photo thread at the base (with 15mm distance between them) and 6 threaded metric holes (M4) on the size, so the locking thumbscrews could be installed in various positions along the plate. Two thumbscrews are supplied.
