Wheels Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I have a skywatcher 9x50 finderscope, is there a diagonal that will fit this, or will I have to buy a new one with the diagonal already incorporated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichM63 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Begs the question why?But the 9x50 can be adapted to take a 1.25" fittment, so therefore it would be possible.Although, it would then be more or less a spotting scope, check with Google.

Pete Presland Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 unfortunately you are going to have to get another, but on the plus side a Right angle correct image finder (RACI) will much easier to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheels Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 The reason I ask is because it is on my 8 inch Dob & you really have to crank your neck to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichM63 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Ah yes, got it. Still it will accept a 1.25" accessory. Unscrew the eye end and go from there.Hence, why they get converted to GuideScopes with webcams or better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheels Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 The eyepiece does unscrew, so does the adapter plate, I won't do that again took me a while to get it back on.Thanks for the advise guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
