What Finder for an RC-12
Hi all
Spent a frustrating evening last night trying to polar align my new RC-12. I don't currently have a finder for it and let me tell you if you haven't tried this before with a 2483mm focal length - it is bloody hard.
Because the alignment was quite a bit out I couldn't use alignmaster because it wasn't putting me close enough to the stars for me to find and identify them. So I basically wasted a clear evening which is rare event lately in Brisbane.
The two finders I currently own of course do not fit the finder brackets on the RC which happen to be quite wide.
What is the best way to go? Do I get a finder to fit the RC or a red dot type thing. What do others use on their long focal length setups?
thanks
Brett
