Much loved stellarview finder that I just don't use anymore
argo and 22t4 take care of all the finding I need.
A few simple mods you can see here, the base mount of the tube rings has a hole drilled to allow mounting to a Tripod, the upper ring (front ) can have the brass (diy) finder attached if you wish .. it actually works great .
I repainted the tube to match my scope , pictured , it was white
before and in hindsight could of maybe primed things better as the flat black I applied has got a little precious with the front dust cap and even the nylon locking screws. So figure You'll have to repaint it if it really bothers.
Optics are fine and most eyepieces (13t6) etc will come to focus
20 MM gso plossl included.
$100
p&H neg .. bout $10 or so will likely cover it .
