I also have an iEQ45 at my cottage and expect the assembly to work on it as well. It protrudes enough for my solution to work.

I decided to find a solution to the problem of looking through a polar scope with Polaris at 50°. After checking out some forums, including here, I came up with a solution that is a bit different than any I have seen to date. The polar scope of my ZEQ25 mount is flush mounted and that was the first problem. I bought an adapter from Paul Chasse (V5Astro) which backs the polar scope out far enough to allow access to the reticle adjustment screws. That also allows me to attach a right angle finder. Most mount owners won't have this problem. I purchased a Canon manual Right Angle Finder B from someone in a Canon forum who popped up to offer it to me. The eyepiece adapter can be unscrewed which turned out to be very helpful. I then set about searching for a method to attach that finder to my scope. It so happens that I have a 1.25" extension tube. The end with locking screw fit nicely over the back end of the p-scope. The challenge then became how to attach the finder to the other end of the extension tube. A friend suggested O-rings. I found the right size for the nosepiece of the right angle finder. I was then able to slide the nosepiece of the finder into the extension tube.The only thing left was to cut 1cm off of the extension tube. It takes almost no work and and can be easily attached and detached. Don
