Here are instructions and illustrations for making an effective, simple, quick and cheap aiming device suitable for any angled-view telescope.
The instructions consist of an article which I originally wrote for Alula and which were later also published in Birding, and a series of illustrations drawn by KorHaan. This material was recently presented on a thread on the Nikon sub-forum, but since the aiming device works just as well with scopes from any other brands, we thought it may be good to present it in the general forum.
The article is attached to this post, and KorHaan will post the illustrations in 2-3 subsequent postings. We therefore kindly request that no replies or comments to this post will be posted until he has posted all his illustrations.
Try it and enter a new era in your birding!
