I finally got out to use my new Astrotrac. Works great and I'm not
carrying a ton of equipment. Has anyone designed a method of
attaching a reflex finder or red dot finder to the system. I thought
about using an elastic to hold a finder to the front of my 400 lens.
Not to pretty but it's start. I keep thinking there should be away
to use the hot shoe at the top of the camera as a base. Anyway, hope
to post a few pics soon.
Rick

Hi Andy. That would work when I want to use a wide angle lens. Just wondering if you have an extra base for the ball head so you can attach one to the...

Hi Rick. My set up is a little unusual. I have the Manfrotto 410 geared head which acts as the latitude adjuster. For the camera I don't actually use a...
