I have also used a modified finderscope (finder guider) with a starshoot with great success. If you don't want the challenge of a DIY, Orion are now releasing their own version of a finderguider either as a package with the starshoot

or on its own

for small scopes on small mounts the reduced load has great advantages
all the best
