200p Skywatcher Finder scope + bad back :)

[autonm]

Just wondering if there is any adapter which helps/stops me having to bend over in funny positions to look through the finder scope?

I have a 200p Skywatcher if that helps.

thanks

A RACI finder is the way ahead, no bad back. They should be standard on the skyliners.

I have the right angled finder scope and this does make life easier now I'm looking for a similar solution for the telrad

Presumably the Rt angle SW finderscope is just the original modified?

Does anywhere sell the Rt angle bit!

Seems crazy when there's nothing wrong with the original, but I'd love one!

not the same,you have to buy the whole scope. ( i think anyways) you can sell your straight through to reduce costs though.

I got a telrad on my 200p dob. Highly recommended!

Of course, red backwards, it's a shorter 'scope to account for the extra focal length of the 90 degree turn!
