A Handle for a Starfield 102mm f/7 ED

[Jforson]

I have taken delivery of a Starfield 102mm this week.   As is typical the cloud has arrived with the scope, so my first light is still awaited.  
 

In the meantime I am thinking that a handle would be useful for mounting / unmounting.  Previously I have used an Altair Astro handle, unfortunately it’s too big for the Starfield.  
 

I am wonder whether there are any recommendations for a handle from those who have used the scope?

Hi, I do not own a Starfield 102 but I do have the Altair version and did look at this :- https://www.svbony.com/sv211-203mm-saddle-handle-bar/  it’s for their f.7 version so may fit, check it out , it does give you the dimensions on the page, and a good bit cheaper than the Bay. 
Hope this helps,

Dean.

I use the svbony handle.  This is the 203mm version.  They also do a 135mm version.

I'd compare buying direct versus from the official store on AliExpress as there can sometimes be a big price difference.  I love my handle.

Lol.  That is my daughter.  It's her job to point at things for me 😂

I do like the handle in the red.

I could get lost in that site with the amount of choice.  Thanks for sending through the thread.

And here’s the handle on my Dob. No OTA is complete without a handle. I got mine from WDS Components after a recommendation on this site. Unfortunately my daughter is out so you will have to make do with my rather more hairy hand/finger.

Maybe we should star a new thread “Show us your Handle”?

Too late! There is one already, though it hasn’t been that popular…. Yet!!

Crumbs… how did I miss that! I’m kind of surprised that it hasn’t been more popular. I can’t be the only one that loves a good handle!
