Recommendation - handle(s) for Celestar 8 OTA?
      #3433825 - 11/06/09 09:50 PM

I have a 2000 Celestar 8" on a fork mount. It does have the 1.75" separation holes on the top and bottom of the OTA in the rear and singles in the front.

I have Digital Setting Circles on the mount and I find myself grabbing the front of the OTA a lot to move the scope around. I have not touched the corrector yet but it is only a matter of time before I smudge it up. I have searched but I have not found any handles to fit the OTA. I know the bigger scopes like the C11 and C14 have handles.

Are there any handles, either front or rear that would fit a C8? Any other suggestions for solving this problem?

Thanks,
Paul
