Your search for deep-sky objects gets easier with the Explore Scientific ReflexSight. Its infinitely adjustable brightness reticle consists of three concentric rings of red dots that let you hop guidepost stars with little obstruction.
Unlike with finder scopes, the view you see is right-side up. The 2.2 x 1.4" window is treated with antireflective coating for optimal reticle visibility and the ReflexSight comes with a protective cover.
This sight mounts easily on mini-Vixen-style mounts and on select Explore Scientific finder mounts. It is also fitted with a 1/4"-20 hole for mounting on a camera tripod or as an accessory for any number of optics.
