Why use an optical finder?

A telescope at moderate or high magnification shows only a small area of sky. The finder gives a wider, lower-power view so you can move towards a target before switching to the main eyepiece. It works best when its pointing direction is carefully aligned with the telescope.

Align before observing

With the telescope securely mounted, centre a distant stationary object in the main eyepiece. Adjust the finder’s two alignment screws against the spring-loaded support until the finder points to the same object. Recheck the alignment after moving the equipment and make a final refinement on a suitable star if needed.

Optics and fitting

The two-element achromatic objective and fully multi-coated surfaces help provide a useful aiming view. Internal treatment is designed to reduce reflections. Check the bracket foot and the mounting shoe on your telescope before ordering; the model name alone does not establish a universal shoe fit.
