TEC FINDERSCOPE BRACKET
The TEC Finderscope Bracket is
designed to hold a traditional 50mm
optical finder or a Red Dot sight.
This new design requires only 2
thumb screws for alignment. It looks
and works in a much more elegant
way. The Finderscope Bracket contains the following parts:
Finder Base (1), that attaches to the focuser with two 8-32
screws; Holding Knob (2), tightening this knob will hold the
Finder Arm (3) with Finder Holder (4) to the Finder Base. The
Finder (9) is spring-loaded with spring and screw covered by
Spring Cover (6).The Finder holder has two 10-32 set screws (8) on the objective side and
two 10-32 Alignment Thumb Screws (5). A special insert (7) must be installed in the finder's
body. TEC performs this installation for free in any brands. Please note that finder'diameter
should not be larger than 2".
When attaching the finder base to
the focuser housing make sure to
use screws of the proper length.
WARNING:
If the screws are too long,
they will contact the draw
tube and damage its anodized
surface !
Shown on above picture is the
Astro-Physics Finder bracket with
Orion 9x50 finder. This
combination is less expensive and
does not require insert installa-
tion.
The Red Dot sights could also be
installed. This installation requires
fewer parts: only a Finder Base
and a Finder Arm with knob.
