Thanks for the images Roger, that really puts it all into perspective.

Doesn't look too difficult at all. Just on the lookout for some very fine wire at the moment.

My finderscope is all fixed now, I ended up using one of my wifes hairs which ended up being the same thickness as what Meade uses and it looks perfect.

At first it was a bit tricky focussing in with the old dodgy eyeballs but I got there.

A big thanks to everyone for their thoughts and ideas, it was all greatly appreciated.

I also decided not to go for the telrad style as suggested by Madtuna.

Cheers
