Hi everyone!

I recently purchased a Skywatcher SK1025AZ3, which came with a red dot finder. Now I found the red dot finder extremely easy to use, far easier then a normal finder for pointing at bright objects.

But since I live in the suburbs, I can only see pretty bright objects - so to find fainter DSOs I have to guess where they are in what appears to be dark swaths of the sky.

I need a finderscope, to give me magnification, and also to show me stars that I can't see with the naked eye.

So thats why I am here - I want to add a mount for another finderscope, so I can go red dot -> finder -> OTA. I have no idea how to do this, I am pretty crap at any kind of machining, and I certainly don't want to be drilling into my OTA. The rings holding the OTA in place though, have holes for mounting a camera and such - can these be used some how?

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Cheers,
Steve
