Dust cover for 120mm objective and fs bracket

Hi I bought a new scope but it didn't come with a dust cover for the front objective.
I'm also having a hard time finding a finder bracket to fit this focuser.
it's a 120mm Saxon scope if that helps.
I'm having a hard time finding one online so thought I'd try the second hand market.
If you have any ideas please let me know.
thanks for reading
Brad

The finder bracket is not too hard - MANY makers - GSO, Skywatcher etc. All use the Vixen dovetail system.

If you want, I can sell you a 2nd hand 6x finder with bracket for $20 posted. Basically free, considering post price these days! Almost same as this one: http://www.bintel.com.au/Accessories...oductview.aspx

Or, you can buy the bracket ex-USA for MORE, and then you need a 7x finder too: http://agenaastro.com/antares-quick-...m-finders.html

I am sure bintel.com.au will sell you a GSO or SW bracket.

As to dewshield cover - use a plastic elastic shower cap or food cover!!! Cost peanuts. Or make one from cardboard (I have the correct covers for my Takahashi's, but use homemade cardboard covers most of the time - don't care if I lose them, don't chip if they fall off (nor break a toe). Or for something fancy, head to Bunnings plumbing section and buy a PVC end cap - they make em big! If TOO big, pad the inner diameter with self adhesive felt - several layers on layers if need be.
