Astromaster 114 Picatinny Style Rail

thingiverse

The original star finder for the Astromaster 114 is severely lacking, and finding an alternative requires invasive measures like drilling into the tube or utilizing subpar mounting tape. Therefore, I designed this adapter to seamlessly replace the stock finder while allowing users to equip their telescopes with a standard picatinny or weaver mount featuring a red dot or laser pointer. Additionally, the adapter might also be compatible with the Astromaster 130 as both instruments seem to utilize identical star finders; however, further verification is needed due to limited access to the Astromaster 130. It's essential to note that I accurately spec'd the picatinny rail, yet my ability to test its compatibility remains uncertain because, upon closer inspection, my red dot sight actually features a dovetail mount rather than a picatinny mount.
