Finderscopes are essential in finding objects at low power for polar alignment or quick spotting.
The user must properly align the finderscope to the eyepiece, so whatever you see in the finderscope will be in the eyepiece. Once the object is found, use a low power eyepiece to refine the alignment.
For easy sighting of terrestrial or astronomical objects prior to their observation in the main telescope, the #827 8x25 right-angle viewfinder displays a wide 7.5° field.
The finder includes a crosshair eyepiece and precise helicoid focusing. The included bracket attaches to the main telescope in seconds.
