Mounting the Apertura 60 mm APO Refractor is easy. It comes with a fitted hinged ring that drops down to a sturdy foot with 1/4-20 threads.

Lastly, remove the hinged ring, get yourself a larger finder bracket (measure the largest diameter to make sure the scope fits inside) and voila, you have an outstanding finderscope with the ability to accept multiple eyepieces, including an illuminated reticle model.
