This is a mount for the ZWO ASIAir Plus on the Skywatcher Star Adventurer GTi telescope star tracker. Remove the black plastic cone to reveal the eyepiece that is used to align the star tracker with the northern or southern star, and slide this on. It inserts into the same spot as the black plastic cone. It is a friction fit, which may vary between different units as the pieces are all casted. This product is designed to fit my personal Skywatcher Star Adventurer GTi so if you find that yours is looser you can secure it with a piece of duct tape. Personally, mine goes on with a slight friction fit and doesn't come off unless I pull it off. You just need to be aware that the Skywatcher Star Adventurer GTi is made of casted parts so the dimenstions can vary some. The mount is made of an eco-friendly plastic called PLA which is made of corn sugars. Once the mount is installed on the Skywatcher Star Adventurer GTi, you can insert your ZWO ASIAir into the dovetail. I believe that ZWO is using the same dovetail design across all their ZWO ASIAir products, so if that's the case this will accept any ZWO ASIAir computer. There is a hole in the side of the mount to use a set screw to securely hold the ZWO ASIAir computer in place. I'm using a spare 4mm set screw from ZWO. The hole doesn't have any threads, so you could use a 3mm or 4mm set screw. I've been using this on my personal Skywatcher Star Adventurer GTi without any issues. This product is available in a variety of colors. I also have specialty filaments that have 2 colors in them, and 3 colors in them that gives the final product a color shifting type effect. If you're interested in this just let me know and I can tell you what I have. I go through this quickly and constantly get different color combinations. There's no extra charge for the specialty filament.
