No longer use this but it worked well with an old guiding setup I used to use. This is an Orion 8x50 straight thru finderscope. It was modified by cutting the tube length down slightly and adding a PVC fitting that accepts a 1.25" guide camera nosepiece. Unfortunately I cannot remember what I was using as the guide camera but it may have been an ASI120MC?  But I am not really sure on that. If it helps, I measured the distance from the objective to the rear of the PVC flange to be 7.875". I also have the cross hair eyepiece lens but of course it will no longer thread on the end of the tube. Asking $20 plus $7 for shipping.
