Sun Finder for Telrad Base

I got a little tired of the rather inaccurate method of using the telescope's shadow to align with the sun for solar observation. Based upon a product I saw at TSP (vendor and manufacturer unknown), I made a Sun Finder to fit the Telrad base. This not only provides a convenient mounting, it also guarantees that the Telrad has been removed prior to solar observation (failure to remove or protect the Telrad will result in a burned reticle).

I glued the Sun Finder together out of Lexan, painted it black, and used wood pieces (held to the bottom piece with small screws) to make the attachment points, slightly tapered like the attachment points on a Telrad. A 1/16" hole was drilled at the front, and after aligning the scope with the sun, a paper hole reinforcement was placed around the projected dot at the back. Now, I simply slew my scope until the projected dot is centered, and the sun is right in the center of the eyepiece.

NOTE:
If viewing the sun, take appropriate precautions! Use a solar filter and make sure your finder scope is capped or removed.
