A few years ago I got the equivalent 50mm guide scope and camera, currently selling for £235 on this page. I think it was more expensive when I bought it and prices have come down. They do various options, including the telescope guider body with a non-rotating helical focuser on which you could put your own camera of choice for £109.

Of course the main purpose of this setup is as a guide camera rather than a digital finder, but I found it worked perfectly for my purpose. A GoTo mount that wasn’t quite good enough to always put the target in the small field of view of the guide camera on a spectrograph.

Best wishes,
