Whats the best Bling Finder Scope ?

[Pig]

The Maltese is coming out in me and I want a blingy finder scope - any suggestions ?

Can you get them in different colours anywhere ? A gold one would be cool

My RDF works abs fine but is just too small and plain

[Steve Ward]

Not sure the colour makes a lot of difference at midnight at a dark site . . .

If you wantvthe astro bling of finderscopes get a Stellarvue...the F50 is nice, or why not large it and get the F80

Its purely about the bling factor

I do use it in the day - Mind you I dont really need a finder for the Sun

You can always bolt a WO ZS66 or one of the revelation variant on your scope and use it as a finder. Those comes in various colours. It there there may even be an orange one to match your 6SE

or if you are loaded, you can ask Mark at Mookranker Telescope to make you a custom one. The 60mm finder he had at SGL8 was gorgeous.

The word gorgeous is what im looking for

Have you thought about wrapping your current finderscope in a vinyl or similar.

It can give a cool effect and is relatively cheap with lots of options for colour etc.

I'd be tempted to wrap my finder with a carbon-look...not sure if I'm brave enough to do the whole scope !

Someone just today posted pictures of a custom vinyl wrap!

Edit: sorry misunderstood your post first time round. But my point still stands that modifying a standard finder scope with a vinyl can give you a nice and blingy one!

The one I have is just to small -But I bet carbon would look good though

Go down to Halfords , there's something like 10000 different colours you can choose from on there Paint mixing machine.

[Pig]

Thats a point they will be able to match this burnt orange colour

[ollypenrice]

Brass for a retro touch?

Orange and gold? Urgh

[Pig]

The gold on the focuser matches pretty well - I was surprised

Thats a good idea - bit pricey mind

[Stargazer_00]

A WO ZS66 is bling in my opnion. Any finder that has it's own (dual speed lol) focuser and can take eyepieces is king bling.

[Pig]

I am very tempted by the Stellarvue that Astrobaby pointed out - it has eyepieces too

I must admit this is well cool looks like they do it in orange too.

[tich]

Why not pull a finder apart & get it anodised in whatever colour you like?

[trazor]

I too am very tempted by the Stellarvue.

Astro_ baby.......Loved the review you did, but

Are their any UK suppliers or is it USA purchase only.

Thanks.....

I have been reading up on them a bit more, they also sell a straight through version

[Moonshane]

perhaps it's an 8" dobsonian?

[Pig]

Im pretty sure you could find anything with that monster

[Wobbly Bob]

Dead easy to remove the front and rear elements on a finder, nip up to a craft shop and get somo gold fecked spray paint, glue a few crystals around the circumfrance. BLING BLING
