low profile Red-Dot Finderscope mount for Celestron Firstscope

thingiverse

I purchased the Celestron Red-Dot Finderscope pointing device to go with my Celestron Firstscope - and discovered that the included mounting bracket that fits the FirstScope is unecessarily huge. This is a redesigned mounting bracket that is lower-profile. My goal was to make a mounting bracket that could stay on the telescope in while it is in storage. Before printing, take a look at the photos to make sure that your telescope will work with this project -- there are more than a couple models of FirstScope out there, and I have not checked whether the mounting screw distances are all the same.
