From finderscope to small refractor...

[kriss13]

Since I will sell my 102 doublet to get an 80 triplet (used as gng too), there will be a time when I will have no scope (the horror )

So I made a small adapter to screw into the 9x50 Skywacher a Baader mk3 Zoom, to have something to play with...

The adapter is made of some sort of hard plastic (textolit in my language).

it has threads at both ends (different tho) and and internal baffles (not painted yet)

It performs quite well.

Since a picture is better than a thousand words.. the pictures:

Textolit in English is Tufnol, but your plastic looks more like Acetal?

Very nice!

It is the straight thru finder..

ps.

Why no edit for this forum?

One of the rules is - 250 posts before you are allowed to do some things (including edit)

Thats a very clever solution and looks proffesionally made too. Well done.

That looks great, well done.
