Astromaster 114 Picatinny Style Rail

thingiverse

The star finder that comes with the Astromaster 114 leaves a lot to be desired, and there isn't a good way to replace it without drilling into the tube or resorting to mounting tape, so I made this adapter that fits in place of the original star finder and allows you to use a red dot or laser pointer with a standard picatinny or weaver mount. It MAY also work on the Astromaster 130, as they look like they use the same star finder, but I don't have one so I can't be sure. The picatinny rail should be correctly spec'd, but I don't have anything to fit to it to be sure, because I only realized after printing this that my red dot is actually a dovetail mount, not picatinny.
