Hello all:

I've been thinking of mounting a guidescope to a Lunt 80MT: what sort of bracket can I use to do this? I don't have a 3D printer so looking for something I can buy.

I would think you could replace that solar finder on the mounting rings with something from ADM to mount a finder scope to it.

Is there a specific one that will fit?

I’m not familiar with how that solar finder is mounted to the rings but assuming it comes off you should be able to attach a dovetail bar to it with a standard finder scope attachment with it.  Or for good guiding attach another set of rings to hold the guide scope so you can adjust it to match your telescope.  Something like this
