Product Overview

The SVBONY F9176A is an all-metal finder mounting set: a small black dovetail base (finder shoe) that fixes to the telescope, plus a standard quick-release dovetail board that slides into it. It gives you a place to mount a finder scope or laser-pointer bracket, or a second or third aiming device. The base is 42 mm wide and 29.5 mm long; the dovetail board is 42 mm long, 32 mm wide at the bottom and 20 mm at the top, and 11 mm high. SVBONY designed it for the SV48 and SV48P telescopes.
