UPDATE:

I've added two more clips, both of which "grip" the S50 body much more firmly. One is plain; the other has a box which fits my battery pack. There is a hole in the bottom so you can plug in the USB cable from the bottom, which I am guessing will lessen the effect of dew on the USB ports of the battery pack.

Please feel free to remix these, or ask me for modifications.

Otherwise, same blah blah blah as below.

Hi all!

I wanted something to help me with polar alignment/equatorial mounting for my S50; so I made a simple clip to fit around the body (NOT the optical tube) of the telescope. Then I added two options: one with a hot shoe; and one with a sighting tube that might also hold a laser pointer if it's legal to do so where you observe, and the laser pointer is about 19mm diameter.

A word of caution: Make sure you do NOT cover up the ventilation slots on the S50!

You may want to print this a little bigger, perhaps just a few percent, so you can glue some felt or other grippy material on the inside of the forks. As is, it's not a very tight fit, but should hold steady enough to do alignment.

This object really does not bear weight or support anything, so I would use the smallest infill and cheapest filament you've got.

As always, my designs are free to use (no tipping needed), but please do not make these and then sell them/make any profit off them.

I am always looking for feedback/improvements!
