51630 Star Telescope Finderscope, Black

My Telrad gave up the ghost and at nearly £60 to replace I thought I'd give this a go. Very very impressed for the money. Not quite as user friendly as the Telrad as no concentric circles only a red dot, but for the price, it does the job. Very good value for money.

This is the best Star Pointer I've used, bigger, brighter & much easier to lock onto a celestial target. So good I've got them on 2 of my scopes. An ideal compliment to the traditional Finderscopes which I use in conjunction on a 3 way adapter mount.

Bought as a replacement for my optical finderscope when I need to reduce the overall payload on my travel mount. It is well made and very easy to set up and use. From my experience, the main thing to bear in mind is that it does not magnify and this makes it difficult to locate fainter objects under light polluted skies. I find that it is very useful for alignment on bright stars when setting up my goto mount.

When I have bought this Red Dot, in past,( but got rid of it whn wife taken ill.)worked great. But this time it would not turn off. This is a very good product, but man made can fail( this time) I will still give it 10/ 10 . It finds the stars accuratly no messing.

I have a Sky Watcher Newtonian telescope so was a bit hesitant to get this for it. The sight is actually really good! It was easy to install the battery and the housing for the foot was a little fiddly but not too bad to figure out. Once attached to the telescope, the sight was really simple to attach and calibrate. The sight gives a nice wide field of view with a bullseye in the middle. The bullseye can be dimmed or brightened as required and the dials for setting during calibration are simple to operate. This would probably suit most telescopes, as there are several footings of different shapes and sizes.

I tried using it for my telescope. It’s a bit pricey, but being a genuine product gives peace of mind. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do, helping locate stars without any issues.

After using a couple of finder scopes, admittedly of dubious quality, I bought the red dot finder after reading a few recommendations. Easy to set up and align and makes finding visible objects in the night sky a breeze.

I bought this to replace my old broken pointerscope on my Celestron Firstscope 114EQ and this works very well. The adjustable light is very useful. Comes with many mounts so it would probably fit most telescopes. Extremely easy to adjust. Only took a couple of minutes. 5 stars.

Installé directement sur le boitier APN à l'aide d'un adaptateur de sabot ou sur l'optique du télescope. Pratique, léger, très visible pour pointer en se reculant et en visant la cible les deux yeux ouverts. Facile à régler. Peu-être un peu fragile dans le temps, nous verrons.

ممتاز شكرا على الخدمة الممتازة والمنتج وصل بتغليف ممتاز وبحالة سليمة

This is one of the better red dot finder scopes. It is specifically for Celestron, but can be used for other brands too

Well packed in bubble wrap, came with battery installed, and several brackets for fitting onto a range of ota fittings. My off brand ota required two new holes drilled and I had to find two bolts/nuts/washers but still used one of the mounts provided. Worked very well otherwise right out of the box, was easily adjusted during the day on a landscape target and maintained adjustment for use during the next viewing session. After a short practice session to get used to judging the center point etc., a viewing target is extremely simple to acquire in the sight. It is much easier to use as the eye relief is so great, makes moving the ota into position initially extremely comfortable over peeping into a small finderscope and fiddling with controls blindly. The brightness adjustment is useful for the more dim targets you're after and in poor viewing conditions, much nicer than losing a dim target under the crosshairs. It is made entirely from plastic, but seems more than rugged enough to be mounted on a precision instrument such as a telescope and handled with appropriate care. I will more than likely purchase another for my next instrument.

Excelente producto, se acomodo perfectamente a mi telescopio
