  • ZWO Finder Shoe for Mini Guide Scope and ASIAIR

    The ZWO Finder Shoe (ZWO-FS-II) provides a dedicated, secure mounting point for Vixen-style accessories to your imaging rig using the two included M4 x 8 mm screws. This CNC-machined aluminum base is the standard for attaching a guide scope to the ZWO ASIAIR Pro or Plus, backed by a 2-year warranty.

    Direct M4 x 8 mm Mounting for ASIAIR

    This finder shoe is engineered for a perfect fit on the ZWO ASIAIR Pro and ASIAIR Plus. It attaches directly to the side or back of the ASIAIR housing using the two provided M4 x 8 mm machine screws, creating a rigid, integrated platform for your guide scope. This eliminates the need for additional rings or clamps on your main optical tube, streamlining your setup and reducing potential flexure.

    Vixen-Style Clamp for ZWO's 30 mm Guide Scope

    Designed as the ideal companion for the ZWO 30 mm Mini Guide Scope, this finder shoe features a standard Vixen-style dovetail clamp. Large, textured thumbscrews ensure you can get a firm grip to lock down your guide scope, even when wearing gloves. The universal Vixen profile also accepts a wide range of other accessories, from different finder scopes to pointer devices.

    CNC Machined for Stability

    Cut from a single block of lightweight aluminum and finished in ZWO's signature red anodizing, the finder shoe is built for durability and stability. The precise machining ensures a solid connection to both the ASIAIR and the accessory it holds. This rigidity is critical for autoguiding, where any amount of flexure between the guide scope and main imaging train can result in trailed stars.

  • How do I install the ZWO Finder Shoe on my ASIAIR Plus?

    Installation is straightforward. Simply align the two holes on the finder shoe with the corresponding threaded M4 mounting points on the side or back of your ASIAIR Plus. Use the two included M4 x 8 mm screws to securely fasten the shoe to the housing.

    Can I mount the ZWO Finder Shoe directly to my telescope tube?

    While designed for the ASIAIR, you may be able to mount it to a telescope tube or dovetail bar if you have correctly spaced M4 threaded holes. However, it is not a universal fit for all telescopes, which often use M5 or other screw sizes for finder brackets. Always check your telescope's screw pattern and size before attempting to install it.

    Will a non-ZWO guide scope fit in the ZWO Finder Shoe?

    Yes. The ZWO Finder Shoe uses a standard Vixen-style dovetail clamp. Any guide scope, finder, or other accessory that has a Vixen-style dovetail bar on its base will be compatible.

    What is the ZWO Finder Shoe made of?

    The finder shoe is CNC machined from a single piece of lightweight aluminum for strength and durability. It is then anodized in ZWO's signature red to match their other accessories and cameras.

    Are the mounting screws included with the ZWO Finder Shoe?

    Yes, the package includes the two M4 x 8 mm screws required to attach the finder shoe to a ZWO ASIAIR Pro or ASIAIR Plus unit.

    I need to attach my ZWO Mini Guide Scope to my William Optics refractor for guiding on the Andromeda Galaxy (M31). Is this the right part?

    This finder shoe is the correct part for mounting your ZWO Mini Guide Scope, but it is designed to attach to an ASIAIR, not directly to the refractor. To mount it on your William Optics telescope, you would need to attach this shoe to a universal dovetail bar or find a compatible mounting point on the telescope's tube rings that accepts M4 screws at the correct spacing.
