Super cheap guide scope? For mono guide cam.

Ahoy

No such thing as a free lunch but would this be any good as a lightweight, cheap guide scope. Obviously colour would be ghastly but my guide cam is mono.

Curious as to why you think Yuk?

ENS are very reasonable suppliers and do not generally sell carp

Really? The focuser bit looks a bit sloppy for a guide scope. Could be wrong though...

Not sure about that particular model, but many people guide with cheap 9x50 finder scopes.
