very well made for such an affordable device

I've looked at several of these from various manufacturers in the past and have been disappointed in their generally flimsy design and construction. However, this one from Astromania is excellent! It is both compact and robust, and very well made-- all machined surfaces are smooth and flawlessly coated. The adjustment screws are large and easy to grasp and turn. The soft tips of the adjustment screws securely hold the guide scope without marring its surface. The guide scope is held securely…

Pros
  • Very good at holding and adjusting the scope
Cons
  • The adjustments on the guiding scope ring set can be fiddly and frustrating to manipulate, especially for beginners

Perfect match: my feedback

Stable mount for my Orion 50mm scope that came with the Starshoot autoguider package. Exactly what I needed to connect to my imaging scope.

Pros
  • Astromania
Cons
  • The design and build quality of the product can be questionable, leading to durability issues over time

Good price for what you get

For the price it does the job. I wasn't concerned about chromatic aberration as I just use it for wider field finding on my mid range 102 APO.I like the helical focus and that standard 1.25 eyepieces fit.I wouldn't use this on my 9.25 edge but that's not what the price point for this scope is.

Pros
  • It worked for what I needed
Cons
  • Installation can be time-consuming and challenging, requiring technical knowledge and patience
