I am trying to find a finderscope with a mount that fits this scope. Any ideas other than the finder sold at WO? Thanks

Scopestuff sells an dovetail along with the proper screw to fit most of the William Optics refractors. This allows you do use any of the Orion, Celestron, Vixen etc finders that use the standard dovetail... What I did was just drill a hole in the center of a standard dovetail and buy the right screw at ACE hardware.

A little felt or tape under the dovetail will help prevent marking the paint on the scope and you should be ready to rip...
