I'm a bit stingy to invest money in a reticle eyepiece, illuminated or otherwise if I think I could knock something up. I just want a set of cross hairs (single probably, but double would be even better) on a shortish focal length eyepiece. At the moment, I want it to more clearly monitor the performance of an EQ platform I'm playing with, but it would be handy for more accurately aligning the finderscope.
I'm looking at my 9mm GSO plossl and wondering how to add a set of cross hairs? Anyone done this? An option, I guess, is to fit a set of cross hairs to a 1.25" filter (minus glass) and screw that in.
Apologies if there is a thread or ten on this already. Yes I've checked out Ken and the tale of his daughter's hair!
Maybe one can buy a 1.25" "filter" with cross hairs already fitted?
Thanks all.
