How do you find stars without a finder scope?

How do you find stars without a finder scope?
Asked by: Bob
You can aim the telescope and sight your target star by placing it just above the front cell while viewing from the rear of the optical tube. Because the RASA 8 has a wide field of view, it should be able to see your target star on your computer's screen. You can also attach a finderscope to the rear cell of the RASA 8 that will be helpful for aligning your mount. Sincerely, Garrett at Celestron

Hello. Want to move up to a RASA for imaging. What would I need to use my Nikon D750 with this scope?
Asked by: Kenny
We do not recommend using the Nikon D750 DSLR camera with the RASA 8 as the camera body will obstruct part of the corrector plate. Sincerely, Celestron
