I am thinking perhaps of the little wedges that one uses for tiling.
Might be good for my kids if I put a Possol Eyepiece with it, and align it ?
I would be so tempted to find a Parabolic mirror for it.

If you are in the USA, $200 odd spent on an Astro Scan would be money better spent i think !
I use my Astroscan (well GAA's) all the time, as it gives tack sharp widefield views with the supplied 28mm Possol.
TBH, i wasnt able to fully colimate it, i unscrewed and removed the mirror, and refitted it as best i could, i quite like the views from it.

i have put a 25mm illumited reticle in it, it will make an excellent finderscope
