This extra Telrad base is for those who have more than one telescope, and who want to transfer their Telrad finder from scope to scope to save the expense of buying a second Telrad. It comes with double-faced tape for mounting to metal tubes, plus screw holes should you want to attach it to a Sonotube Dobsonian or equatorial mount optical tube. The two plastic locking thumbscrews make removing and attaching a Telrad to the already -installed base a matter of moments. The dovetail bracket positions the Telrad accurately and repeatably each time the finder is installed, making recollimation rarely necessary.
Adjustable red LED light brightness control to illuminate crosshairs and preserve night vision. Single crosshair reticle for accurate centering and guiding of stars. Fully coated optics for excellent light transmission on faint stars. Includes reticle eyepiece and illuminator.

The CEM26 is fantastic mount, very smooth gearing and extremely easy to set up. Linked with the Polar system is great, although you have to buy the separate APP to use it if you are on a MAC which is dissapointing but it works flawlessly.
