Solar Finder Scope Remix - Captive Nuts
Description
I really like calderonf's Solar Finder Scope and rsuban's mod to make it rear viewing with a piece of paper as the viewing screen. All I wanted to do was add features to capture 4-40 nuts on the backside to make this totally toolless when using thumb screws. I have also included a pdf and dxf of a target that I drew in AutoCAD that you can print out and use in your finder. With the thumb screws it makes it really easy to setup the crosshair on the projected sun dot to align this with your telescope aperture. You will notice two spots in the wells for the nuts where I have used epoxy to keep the nuts in place even if the screws are removed. Once this is assembled, just put a couple dabs of epoxy in each spot and let it cure before removing the screws.
