Another Solar Finder Scope

Another Solar Finder Scope

Description

This work just like the "two circles on a stick" solar finder scopes there are several examples of on thingiverse. I made this to be less fragile since I want to be able to throw it in a bag without worrying about it breaking. It lacks adjustment, but I found it to be accurate enough for the sun to be reasonably well centered in the eyepiece with 40x magnification. The picture shows the finder scope with the sun exactly centered in the eyepiece, and the light spot is pretty much right on the target bump. Of course your finder scope shoe has to be mounted straight, this works great with telescopes like mine where the finder shoe is integral to the focuser casting and can't be crooked by design.
