Telrad Telescope Reflex Finder with Mounting Base # 1001
Just get it!
I had my Orion 8" XTi for a week before mounting a Telrad. Now the Intelliscope is VERY EASY to align. The finder scope on the Orion 8" XTi is a 9x50, a great scope on its own but not very good for quick finding. I would spend 5 minutes or more co...

GSO 8x50mm Right Angle Correct-Image Finder with Bracket
Good value finder
We got this finder to replace the straight-through finder that came with our telescope. In terms of image quality, it does a serviceable job; not outstanding, but good enough to star hop. The images are bright, and we are able to make out some of t...

Telrad Reflex Sight
What can I say about the Telrad Reflex Sight that hasn’t been said before? Designed after a fighter jet’s “Head-Up Display,” the Telrad essentially revolutionized Amateur Astronomy when it was introduced in the 1980s. The Telrad finder wo...

Telrad Reflex Finder
Using my Orion 6" f/8, the OEM 6x30 finder is just too high up to view through on the Skyview Pro mount. So I bought one of these and mounted it just above the 1/2 way mark on my long OTA! Now I can see everything clearly! The brightness/dimmer switc...

GSO Quick Release Bracket and Base for 50mm Finders
GSO 50mm Finder Bracket with Dovetail Base
I bought a Celestron 9x50 finder and it didn't come with a dovetail or bracket! This holds the finder in place even when bumped!! Easy to set nylon thumb screws! Works on most mounts without the base, except sct/mak!!

Telrad Telescope Reflex Finder with Mounting Base # 1001
One of the best inventions for astronomers who use telescopes
What can I say the Telrad when it came out was considered the best thing that happen for observers with telescopes since the Dobsonian telescope. It is a must for star hopping and is used on many of the worlds largest telescopes. Not because they nee...

Telrad Telescope Reflex Finder with Mounting Base # 1001
What ease to use
I love this finder. Use it with your magnified finder. Works great. I will look up what we want to view, find the area in the star chart, set the Telrad, look down scope tube and Telrad, find the star or ref. point, lock in the ra and dec. Then go...

Rigel Zero-Mag Finder - How did I ever get along without it?...
For many years now, I have been using the screws on the outside of my tube for alignment purposes in locating objects. It worked ok, but objects high up...at zenith, it gets rather awkward. If I'm going to be that close to the ground, I better be dru...

Antares Red Dot Finder with Quick Release Bracket

I was looking for a light weight finder that could fit into the narrow gap between my focuser and 50 mm straight through finder. I wanted something with illumination because the cross hair is not easy to see when looking for low magnitude objects in...
