Star Adventurer and angled polar scope viewfinder

[Astrofriend (Lars)]

All of you living above +/- 50 degrees latitude has for sure had problem looking through the polar scope of your mount. I live in Sweden at 60 degrees. I have a Star Adventurer mount when on traveling and want it as simple as possible but still usefull. My next step to get it more usefull was to add an angled viewfinder on the polar scope.

Here is my version how to do it (there are a lot of others who had done similar before me):

When I did a simple test from my balcony it looks to be much easier now to polar align.

At last, I have 3D printed an adapter to attach an angled viewfinter to the polar telescope finder. This is for the Star Adventurer polar telescope, but I think it fit even others.

My document of how I did it:

It works so perfect compare to my film canister build adapter. This is my first real 3D printed product I will use so I have great times.
