3-D printed solar finder

[Aquavit]

Now it's gone cloudy my attention has been diverted to the workshop so thought I would make my own solar finder, anyone interested in doing the same can find the file here https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4905067

Nice one, I made something similar…. In black and it got rather warp and warpy in the sun.

Very nice - like the design too.

Amazing how difficult it is to find a solar finder that meets all the basic requirements. My TeleVue one is too inaccurate. My Altair is too heavy. My Baader Skysurfer combined day/night one is too faint so is difficult to use. And have you see the price of the Coronado - £120!!

… and trying to find the sun by minimising the shadow area is just frustration!
