I have an ETX90EC. I would like to have a rightangle correct image viewfinder for it. Is there one for this scope? Would it interfere with the eyepiece...
One more comment - it will not interfere with the eyepiece holder, provided that you turn the finder so that its eyepiece points somewhat to the side instead...

I haven't tried it myself, but I understand the Orion optics 6x30 finder will (just) fit. It's supposed to be much better quality and will be a brighter image....
Greetings Group: I have found the best way to use the viewfinder is to print out charts using GUIDE 8.0, to match what I see in the finder, as far as image...
