QHY5 Finder Guider Package

Hi all! I'm selling the remaining of my imaging gear.

Here I'm offering my sweet little finder guider package. It is based on a QHY5 in VGC and a 50mm GSO finderscope.

The scope rings are aluminium stellarvue and I've mounted it to a DIY aluminium dovetail clamp so it can be conveniently mounted underneath the imaging scope using the main dovetail. This makes a very rigid mounting solution (close to centre of gravity), however it still allows easy adjustment and pointing.

I've mounted a 1.25in eyepiece adapter in the rear of the scope so the QHY5 with nosepiece and IR filter can easily be removed.

Also included is a plastic dew shield.

The scope has been covered with carbon fibre look vinyl and it looks and feels great. I applied this vinyl well over a year ago and no signs of wear or peeling.

Overall a really nice little package. Asking $300 - would prefer local pickup but can easily post.

Cheers,

Dave.
