After taking a gamble and trying one out, I can confirm that a Celestron part #94221 Polar Scope will fit. Just thought I'd pass this along as helpful info. -Matt -------------------- Celestron C9.25 XLT Celestron C5 Intes MK65 Denkmeier Binoviewer Giro III alt-az on a Oberwerk tripod "The evolution of the universe can be likened to a display of fireworks that has just ended: some few wisps, ashes and smoke. Standing on a well-cooled cinder, we see the fading of the suns, and try to recall the vanished brilliance of the origins of the worlds." - Georges Lemaitre Post Extras:       bykhed sage Reged: 10/22/07 Posts: 300 Loc: Westminster, CO Re: Polar scope for Vixen Polaris mount [Re: bykhed]       #3404181 - 10/22/09 01:28 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   I should add that this part is officially discontinued, but I was able to find one without too much trouble. Here's a link to Celestron's web page with a photo. The newer ones have a rubber eye cup instead of the ridged aluminum shown in the photo. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.celestron.com/c3/images/files/product/tn_94221_finderscopepola_large.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.celestron.com/c3/product.php%3FProdID%3D345&usg=__jns2Iq0M_dpzHa872pgfMStEt4M=&h=100&w=140&sz=7&hl=en&start=5&um=1&tbnid=VPfYOeMAOWlXpM:&tbnh=66&tbnw=93&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dcelestron%2B94221%26hl%3Den%26rls%3Dcom.microsoft:en-us%26sa%3DN%26um%3D1 Post Extras:       Pages: 1 Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 11 registered and 10 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
