Creating a Polar Scope
I have two polar scopes. They're both too smaller aperture to be useful in many sky conditions for us southern hemisphere people.
It would be much easier to use a polar scope if it were 50mm aperture, or even 30 or 40mm (most polar scopes being 15-20mm).
Has anyone converted a 50mm finderscope to be a polar scope?
I'm considering trying.
There are cross hairs, so surely that could be augmented with a template of star positions.
Any thoughts?
PS. ignore the fact a 50mm scope wouldn't fit inside most mounts - for my purposes using a 50mm scope is not a problem.
