Farpoint · Takahashi GSO Bracket Adapter · Quick Release
A quick-release adapter that fits non-Takahashi finders and small guide scopes to a Takahashi finder base.
This Farpoint quick-release adapter lets you mount a non-Takahashi finder or a small guide scope onto a Takahashi telescope’s finder base — for example a QHYCCD Mini Guide Scope or a GSO 8×50mm right-angle correct-image finder. The quick-release design lets you remove and refit the finder or guide scope without tools, returning it to the same position each time. Machined by Farpoint, part of the CXB Astro family.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does this adapter do?
It lets you put a non-Takahashi finder or a small guide scope onto a Takahashi telescope’s finder base. That opens up the Takahashi finder shoe to finders and guide scopes it wouldn’t otherwise accept.
Which finders and guide scopes fit?
It’s designed for popular third-party units such as the QHYCCD Mini Guide Scope or the GSO 8×50mm right-angle correct-image finder. The finder or guide scope itself is not included.
How is it different from the standard Takahashi finder bracket?
The standard Farpoint Takahashi Finder Bracket carries a genuine Takahashi finderscope. This GSO adapter version is for mounting non-Takahashi finders and small guide scopes to the same Takahashi base.
