Red dot finder on quick release foot for Skywatcher, Helios and Orion scopes

Red dot finder on quick release foot for Skywatcher, Helios and Orion scopes

£18.99 including UK P&P

Qty:

This finder is fitted with a standard quick-release dovetail mounting foot and will fit the "shoe" found on popular Sky Watcher, Helios, Konus etc telescopes.

The great thing about this red-dot reflex finder is that it is non-magnifying and allows you to accurately point the telescope with both eyes open. Unlike optical finders, you don’t need to get your eye close to it – you can look along the telescope tube at almost any convenient distance to see the red-dot apparently projected on the sky. The finder doesn’t actually project the dot on the sky, but creates a clever optical illusion that by looking through the rear of the finder, it appears that the red dot is on the sky. This is probably the easiest type of finder to use for anyone new to using a telescope, but is extremely useful to experienced astronomers as well - a pretty unusual combination! Supplied complete with battery.

The unit is fully adjustable and can be fitted to the telescope and adjusted in seconds.
