Quick finder dew shield/crosshair Illuminator

I dont & never will use that polar scope illuminator on my EQ5. Hate seeing things go to waste, so I came up with this idea The dew shield is just thin plastic glossy on the inside, helps to bounce around the red light to fully illuminate the FOV. Variable brightness as well.
