Solar finder for Vixen/Synta-style finder dovetails used with most telescopes. Get ready for the April 8, 2024 total solar eclipse!This simple device can help you align your telescope (with appropriate solar filter) towards the sun. This version has a Vixen/Synta-style dovetail that can be used with most telescope finder brackets.The main solar finder body should be printed vertically with the crosshairs and hot shoe features on the build plate. You won't need supports as it is tapered towards the top where the light hole is. You can cut a piece of paper using the 43mm cutting template using a razor knife and the paper will fit in between the body and cap. I found that thinner paper works better - parchment paper works perfectly.Added some different tolerance caps for different fits as the nominal may be too tight or loose for your printer/settings/material.
