The Astro Engineering AC722 Laser-Lite . laser pointer finder bracket allows you to turn any green laser pointer in to a superb telescope finder! Used responsibly, the laser finder is a great way to point telescopes - itīs great on GOTO scopes too - showing you exactly where the instrument is pointing, to show other observers or to transfer the target position to another non-GOTO scope etc.

The AC722 Laser-Mate finder bracket attaches to the telescope tube with self-adhesive foam strips that can be used on telescope tubes ranging in size from 80mm upwards to 450mm and beyond! The soft aluminium base can also be bent flat to fit to any other surface. The universal mounting base uses double-sided foam adhesive strip for permanent fixing (removable!). The laser holder has six nylon thumb screws that allow you to collimate your laser pointer into perfect registration with the telescope or binocular.

Please note the laser pointer shown is not included.

SNS comment: This is a great gadget and allows just about any modern laser pointer to be turned into a super telescope finder! It fits easily to any telescope in seconds with foam adhesive tape that can be removed if needed. But what's really great about this laser mount, compared with all the others, is that the base, whilst firm and rigid, is pliable enough to be easily bent in the fingers - this means you can bend the base to fit just about any surface, round, flat, angular amd the rubber self-adhesive tape will hold the mount in perfect position. We've seen them fitted to binoculars, cameras and camera lenses not to mention a flock of weird shaped telescopes!

Green laser finders are great for use on almost any telescope but are particularly useful on Dobsonian and other alt-azimuth mounted telescopes - in short, a highly recommended widget!.
