 This product will allow the use of a SkyScout on a *Dobsonian telescope. ScopeScout II consists of a dovetail adaptor that is extra tall, Centering table, ScopeScout bracket and  stainless steel hardware, and a **disrupter.

Before ordering our product please check your SkyScout for accuracy buy having your Skyscout on a camera tripod and centering a few stars. If your SkyScout is not with .5 degrees then please send the unit to Celestron for calibration.

**Meade Lightbridge owners: The dovetail that is supplied with the Meade LightBridge  will NOT fit our tall dovetail adapter, you will also need to replace the dovetail with Orion 7214 adapter available from Orion or from us at 14.00 with the kit.

The "Disrupter" negates the magnetic interference and will allow your Skyscout to accurately locate objects. The Disrupter is not needed on metal telescopes 6inches in diameter or less and Dobs without Ferrous Metal (sonotube)
