It would be best but it does image ok without it, I have not got or tried the flatner for it. I guess it would also depend on the size of the CCD chip you would be using if you require it or not.

Dave, I know I'm pretty blind and old, but i can't see the scope on Andrews site, let alone the 1600.00 price tag, please point me in the right direction
and (Some actually different for the M88, but about priced the same)
K-ZM80A Aluminium carry case for ZS80 or M80 $199.00
M-PV Vixen-style dovetail plate - fits EZT, Vixen, Orion, Synta, etc. and is 9cm x 19.5cm x 3cm in dimension. $79.00
M-FB50mm New Generation finder bracket for 6 x 30 and 7 x 50, fits ZS66, ZS80, ZS105/110 and FLT110 $119.00
M-M80R-B Mounting rings, black finish, 90mm $149.00
So all up, it is actually closer to $1900

I was also looking for a second base for ages for these so I could share the 1 finder with my two WO scopes. I had to buy the lot in the end as WO would not supply half only!

heh.. I just need a finder on my imaging setup.. hunting for targets if goto misses can be a real pain in the butt without a finder... oh well.. Looks like I'll have to shell out for a new one..
For all the PMer's the unit is still available. The $1100+postage price is firm.
It can be collected from me if you live in Melbourne. Postage estimate is about $50 to Aus major cities including registered & insurance.
