Summary

Yet another project inspired by a Jerry Oltion article from Sky & Telescope, March, 2024, p. 72. Mount this on your scope, align with the sun, and mark the location of the spot on the screen. The design consists of two 3D printed parts:

Solar finder body with integrated Vixen-style dovetail
Rear screen

The body is printed in black PLA and the screen in white PLA.

If the spot is too small for your liking, you can drill it out to make it larger.
