Thewalkingastronomer Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Could anyone point me in the direction as to where in the UK you can get a Rigel quickfinder to synta baseplate (image attached is from eBay US). I don't want to stick the normal baseplate on my scope as it's been wrapped. Thanks Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratlet Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Is that so you can put a quickfinder in a finderscope bitty? Drop me a pm. I can 3D print you one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertI Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Just FYI, I have attached the baseplate to my scope using two cable ties around the circumference of the scope, one on each side of the base plate. It doesn't look pretty, but actually works brilliantly, and no stickiness required. It also mean you can mount the quickfinder at the lens end of the scope (in the case of a refractor) which makes it easier to look through.

bosun21 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Drill a hole through the base and fit a 10mm spacer and synta shoe. Countersunk screw and a nyloc nut. Sorted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
