AstromaniaFinderscope Starpointer for Astronomical Telescopes With Slide-in bracket

Très bon assistant pour télescope, je l'ai acheté pour remplacer celui fourni avec le télescope parce qu'il est tellement plus simple à enligner, de plus il est plus abordable ici. Je le recommande !

After installing a dovetail mount on my telescope, I needed to replace my old, substandard finderscope. This red-dot finderscope fits the bill, and I can safely say that it does the job. If you're new to astronomy, my advice is to watch a YouTube video or two on how to align the finderscope with your telescope.My Orion telescope came with one of these red-dot finder scopes; unfortunately, both the plastic mount and the finder scope were of such poor quality that it made it almost impossible to use it accurately. Yes, I can recommend this finderscope.

Regular finderscopes are a pain sometimes. It is hard to see the cross hairs so a red dot finder is just great for quickly locating a bright star, planet or the Moon. Though made of plastic it accomplishes the task with no problem. There are adjustments for vertical and horizontal, that's good! I setup up my scope in daylight hours, put on the red dot finder, look through the scope at an object sufficiently far away, then adjust the vertical and horizontal control knobs on the red dot to align with that object. Now I am ready to go for night time finding and observation. There is brightness control so you can increase/decrease the brightness to your eye so that you can see the star or planet. This comes with a standard Vixen-style "shoe" that is common for most telescopes. JUST REMEMBER TO TURN THE FINDER OFF after you have located your night sky object... CR2032 batteries will deplete if you don't, obviously. I keep a supply of these batteries on hand just in case. It does not come with the CR2032 battery... but they said so in the ad, so no problem! If they included it then it would be likely that it would be near death upon arrival, so get yourself some fresh ones and don't complain about it.

Personally, I prefer the red dot finder scope. This scope works work in my SVBony 503 70ED refractor scope! This finder scope works great and for the price, you can't go wrong with it. Make sure you put a CR2032 battery. However, since SVBony 503 70ED is a OTA, you will also need to purchase a dove tail separately. I use the SVBONY Universal Dovetail Base.

bon fonctionnement mais ATTENTION la pile n'est pas incluse
