Ric, I used the finest copper wire I could pull out of some multistrand cable - just pulled across and superglued at the edge, excess trimmed off when glue dry.. But the copper is really too thick - stars vanish behind a wire so it isn't that easy to use. Also the copper could oxidise and grow "hairs"? But mine hasn't as yet.
Human hair is the better option. Others have done that with success.
Whether you get get at the crosshairs in your Meade finderscope, I don't know. They were easy to get at in the GSO finderscope.
Good luck
Eric
