My Take on adapting a Starsense Explorer unit.

[peter court]

this is getting to be pretty old hat by now but I thought I'd post my attempt to integrate a Starsense Explorer unit onto my Skytee 2.

Pretty straightforward in the end, the unit was liberated from a new LT70 and, fitted to the same rail my ES reflex sight is already on, courtesy of a short length of alloy 2" flat purchased from Do It Center!

The whole thing works beautifully and I am really impressed as to how easy the Starsense unit locates itself and once I'd finally got it aligned, how accurate it was.  I now have a rather bereft looking, unused LT70 for sale, cheap!!

Happy evenings ahead!

It is pretty good isn't it 🙂

Myself and some others chose to make our own carrier with either a prism or mirror which means the LT70 is still complete and can be used or passed on/sold. In my case it'll be going to my daughter and kids to use. There's a thread or 2 on here that covers what we've done from a couple years back.
