Telrad Reflex Sight with Mounting Base (Tinted Glass)
Key Features
  • Provides Unmagnified True View of Sky
  • Triple Concentric Ring Reticle
  • Bronze Tint for Improved Contrast
  • Large 2.5 x 1.4" Viewing Window
A new take on Telrad's iconic finder, this version of the Reflex Sight is offered with a bronze tint to the viewing window glass to provide a different contrast under certain conditions. It is outfitted with a generous 2.5 x 1.4" viewing window that provides a wide unmagnified true view of the sky, unlike conventional finder scopes that offer limited fields of view presented upside down and backwards. Three concentric rings—spaced at 4, 2, and 0.5°—provide an easy point of reference for locating objects and quick navigation when manually star-hopping. An easy-to-use, infinitely adjustable rheostat enables precise brightness control so users won't hurt their night-adjusted vision. A mounting base is included, and the sight easily detaches from it for storage or to move it to another OTA with a separate mounting base already attached without requiring it to be recentered with the OTA.

This is my second purchase of the same finder for my new to me refractor telescope. I've used all kinds of unit finders and this is the only finder easier to view without any parallax due to its size. The same size may be an issue with smaller refractors (4) when mounting. Only negative is the base uses a tape which is ok but doesn't hold alignment permanently. The viewing circles of 1/2 deg., 2 deg. and 4 deg. helps me finding Deep sky objects with ease.

Is the bronze lens to aid in astronomical viewing conditions or for stage spotlight applications?
Asked by: Bryan
The bronze lens is to improve contrast, especially on heavy overcast days.
