I hope your better half is OK and her health improves Raymond. I made a steel plate that my Nano Tracker sits on, attached to that I have a 6 X 30 finder scope from a telescope that I picked up second hand for around $30. I line the Nano's peep hole and finder's cross hairs on a distant object during the day, then at night simply sight Octans through the finder placing the cross hairs on or close to the SCP and I'm good to go. I have managed 40seconds using a 500mm mirror lens on a number of occasions so that's not bad. The peep hole is useless for long exposures with anything over 24mm focal length.
