Summary

This is a prototype adapter for use with a 9x50 (Celestron or similar) finder scope to convert it to a guidescope that can mount a camera. The GuidescopeAdapter replaces the back of the finderscope and then you can mount a camera to it via the M42 thread or attach the M42 to 1.25" converter and use it like that. To achieve focus, use optional M42 spacers and adjust the depth of the camera in the 1.25" fitting.
