Manufactured by Orion Optics UK, this bracket ensures a perfect fit and maintains the high-quality finish of your instrument. Its angled geometry provides a more comfortable viewing position and improved clearance around other accessories, while the anodised coating protects against wear and corrosion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-bg-light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"DAV-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Secure, Angled Mount for ODK Finder Upgrades\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen upgrading the standard finder on an Orion Optics UK ODK telescope, this purpose-built bracket holder is essential.

On a compact instrument like an ODK, a straight bracket can place the finderscope very close to the main tube or other accessories.
