Vixen Mount for 152/900 Refractor
Description
Since the TS Optics 152/900 Achromat doesn't offer a mount for a viewfinder, I tried to design my own. I didn't want to attach a viewfinder to the screws of the eyepiece extension, so the only possibility was to use the unused holes on the tube clamps. The contact surface does not reach exactly to the tube, because I want to compensate for inaccuracies of the 3D printers and anyway I glued a piece of velour there. It is still WIP at the moment, but should already fit in principle. It is designed for the version with 155mm tube diameter. It does not fit on the 178mm version, but if it fits mine, I will create another one for the big tube. The 152/900 Achromat is sold under many different names. Other names are Technosky, Nerius, Astro Professional or Individual. As long as the diameter of the tube is 155mm the holder should fit there as well. However, adjustments may be necessary due to other tube clamps. Update 01.05.2020: Distance to the tube reduced. About 1mm for a piece of velour remains.
