Best place to mount a Quickfinder on a dob ?

[Nick-In-Ireland]

Where is the best place to mount the Rigel Quickfinder on a skyliner 200p when using a dewshield.

If i mount it in the preferred place as in this pic below, then it doesn't look like there will be enough of a lip to get a dewshield on :-

Where do you guys with dobs, dewshields & Quickfinders mount yours ?

Tnx.

I use a telrad but its as far forward as that quickfinder on that pic.

My Astrozap dew shield has a rubber grip at the end which grips onto the metal rim around the end of the OTA.

Obviously if you make a dewshield yourself you might have to push it further onto the OTA so it stays on, or glue a rubber grip like the astrozap.

For what its worth I think the astrozap dewshields are great and I don't regret buying one instead of making one.
