Star Adventurer polarscope mirror

Just a simple one this time.

 

With the somewhat awkward angle of my polarscope tilted to my latitude, I've fashioned a 45° mirror to help me more comfortably achieve alignment, thus saving me from guaranteed neck spasms.

Just a pipe clip, stainless steel bracket and an acrylic mirror.

 

Not pretty, but fit for purpose.

Cheers guys. I made a similar item for my straight through finder a few years back without realising the right angled finder had already been invented long before I came along. :rolleyes:
