Finder on a Televue Pronto?

Has anyone mounted a traditional finder on the Televue Pronto? I have have a zero-power finder, but at times I need a little magnification - something like a 6x30 could deliver. I know I can use low power eyepieces to yield "finder-like" views - up to about 4 degrees - but it's not the same.

I have the Pronto mounted using the Televue clam-shell ring. The ring has recessed mounting holes for accessories like the star-beam and Sol-Finder. I would prefer not to "sticky" something to the Pronto tube. Ideally the finder could be attached to the Televue clam-shell ring.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...thanks!
