Product Overview

This bracket mounts a Takahashi 6x30 finderscope to the rear cell of a 78mm-and-larger Takahashi refractor. The pre-drilled baseplate matches the Takahashi rear-cell bolt pattern, and the Takahashi green finish matches the optical tube.

Who It's For

This is a good match if you own a 78mm or larger Takahashi refractor and need to mount or replace the 6x30 finder bracket.

Key Features & Design

  • Pre-drilled baseplate: matches the Takahashi rear-cell bolt pattern for direct attachment.
  • Three chromed ball-head bolts: set the finder's centering against the baseplate.
  • Nylon-tipped collimating bolts with locking nuts: hold the finder's alignment once set.
  • Takahashi green finish: matches the factory tube colour.

Recommended Uses

Mounting a 6x30 finderscope for star-hopping and initial target acquisition on 78mm-and-larger refractors, or replacing a lost or damaged factory bracket.

Compatibility and Accessory Notes

Fits Takahashi refractor optical tubes of 78mm aperture and larger through the pre-drilled rear-cell pattern. It pairs with the Takahashi 6x30 Finderscope, sold separately.

Good to Know Before You Order

Bracket only: the 6x30 finderscope is sold separately.

Fit is rear-cell specific: the baseplate is drilled to the Takahashi 78mm-and-larger rear-cell pattern rather than a universal dovetail.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it difficult to set up?

The Takahashi 6x30 finderscope.

78mm-and-larger Takahashi refractor optical tubes with the standard rear-cell bolt pattern.

Bottom Line

A finder bracket for 78mm-and-larger Takahashi refractors, with a pre-drilled rear-cell baseplate and three-point centering and collimation for the 6x30 finderscope.
