I just purchased my first decent mount. The Vixen Polaris mount I asked about a few days ago on this list. Well...I am one of those guys that can walk into a Lowes or Home Depot and become transported into a state of rapturous delight in the tool department. So, when I saw a picture of an equatorial mount this past summer I knew this was something I wanted to master, to own, to covet, this "thing" - no Goto for this kid, but rather the agonizing deliberation of learning this funny gizmo with dials and gadgets. There has been some success along the way with less than accurate and helpful mounts (several DSOs). But now….approaching some measure of perfection with this beautiful little mount…who knows what the skies will reveal?
My question: This mount has a place for a polar scope. But alas, no polar scope came with the mount. Is it possible to adapt a finder scope (such as a celestron or orion 6 X 30 or such to this mount?
Thanks,
Kirby
PS - I can see this is becoming an expensive addiction.
