Baby finderscope mount

Steve good luck with that. I'll be trying to get some project notes together on a baby version of the mount I've just built. I've been frustrated by the flimsy plastic adjustments on the finderscope which I use with my guidescope. The little version is mostly made in 6*50mm ally. So far so good although I'm still working on rings for a conventional finderscope so hace not tested it in situ yet.

I suspect that I have far more movement available than I will ever need for a finderscope, but that probably won't hurt.

A think Skywatcher could have a great market for a finderscope sized version of the mount (with rings) if they could keep the price and weight down.
