TAL2 finder adapter

[jason.p]

Having now used the standard SW finder and the 9x50 RACI on my 200p, I realise how good the TAL finder is. So I was wondering if there might be an adapter to fit it to the 200p. The measurement across the base (wedge) is 63mm.

I suppose if all else fails I could have an aluminium plate with the standard SW wedge made up and bolt it to the TAL base. I'd rather not make any alterations to the tube.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I just filed down the base of the finder so it fits a standard Skywatcher shoe, as I no longer own a TAL OTA that's not a problem.

Sorry not the best photo.

Thanks for that. I have still got the OTA, so that would be a last resort.

Looks good on there doesn't it!

I made an adapter from some bits and pieces (wet day, no work!). Seems ok. I'll have to rebalance and align it, but otherwise i'm quite pleased with it. (Think it would look better in white!).
