This compact guide scope is a top-guality solution for all astrophotographers who need a compact guide scope but don´t want a piggyback configuration. The TSL60-HELI from TS Optics fits directly into the standard finder base of your telescope, thus mounting is really easy. If you do not like to remove your finder or if you do not have a standard finder base, we offer suitable bracket shoes in the accessories section, like one for the adaption to a tube ring.
