Mounting a 10x60 Finder to CNC hinge tube rings

[mrflib]

Hi chaps

I have a second finder and no where on the 'frac to put it. I have seen these from the USA:

http://www.optcorp.com/sv-r50e-r50e-50mm-finderscope-rings-for-sv-hinged-mounting-rings.html

Is that the best way for me to mount it?

I have a Altair 10x60 (http://www.altairastro.com/product.php?productid=16335&cat=260&page=1) which sits on a universal mounting shoe: http://www.altairastro.com/product.php?productid=16492&page=1

Cheers

Hi.

Have a look at

http://www.robtics.nl/index.php?cPath=31_42_216&sort=5a&page=all

They have various shoes/rings etc. You might find something that'll work for your setup.

I have the StellarVue rings & shoe, as in your 1st link. I use it to fit my 50>80mm finders on my hinged tube rings. Works beautifully.

Hope that helps a bit.

Andy.

That's a lot more than the USA, but I suppose with FedEx and Duty etc. it will work out cheaper. It's quite annoying because I could CAD the part I need in seconds but have no idea how to get it cut in aluminium!
