Hi all, a quick question.
Are the crosshairs in a Meade 8x50 finderscope able to be replaced?
I set up last night and began my alignment, the first star was fine and I slewed to the second star, looked in the finderscope and found in that the vertical crosshair had snapped.
I've never heard of this happening and this is the first time it has happened to me in three scopes and 32 years of astronomy. I've researched on the net but haven't found any info as yet and I don't really want to start pulling things apart if it is a non servicable part.
Cheers all
