Have a look at this...

Seems to be a good idea. Has anyone seen this guider before??

Not too shabby a price, either ($460 AUD)

Interesting but it seems to just be a QHY guider attached to a finderscope.
I would be worried about the attachment resulting in lots of flexure. Maybe someone should try ataching their guider to a finderscope and seeing if it is servicable.

Yeah, that's what I thought. I know someone who has one of these on their scope. I'm finding out whether there's any flexure at all in the attachment. If it works, well it might be worth investigating.
