So I have this old soviet made
Typnct-3 20x50 refractor scope that my dad gave me a long time ago. Now that I have been using a 6" dob for a few months I am wondering whether I could put the old refractor to some better use. I never really got much out of it when I was younger because I didn't have a decent tripod, and because it is a straight through spotting scope - it is not convenient to look through when pointing up at the sky.
Having said that, it is a good scope with good optics and always gives reliable sharp correct image views.
This reference shows a rough blueprint of the internal optics.
What I would like to know is if there is any chance of retro fitting this scope either with a diagonal for more convenient viewing, or a makeshift webcam adapter on the back so that I could practise tracking perhaps with a mini eq mount?
Failing that, can anyone suggest how I might better utilise this scope for astro viewing on the occasions I don't have my dob in the car?
