Illuminating an un-illuminated polar scope.

[Ant]

Hi Guys,

I know that over the months people have been asking about un-illuminated polar scope and how can you illuminate them.

Just been searching for something else and came across this! Fits all the EQ mounts...

Alternatively, I'm pretty sure you could buy the parts at Radio Shack, and put one together for half that. Good idea, though. If you have a polarscope. I just have a hole through the middle of my mount.

Have just got one from AWR. Need to test it out in the dark

Yep, works a treat. Worth £20 to avoid ricked neck trying to look through polarscope whilst shining a light in the other end

Or burnt fingers while holding a match over it...
