REFLEX SIGHTS AND FINDER SCOPES

Reflex sights and finder scopes are small viewing devices attached to the side of a telescope to help the user

acquire objects in the eyepiece of the telescope. They serve the same purpose as a rifle scope, ensuring that

your telescope is pointed directly at the object you wish to view. Since telescopes have a relatively narrow field

of view, these sights and finder scopes make locating objects much easier. 

REFLEX SIGHTS

Reflex sights do not magnify but have an optical window with a red dot or crosshair pattern displayed on it.  

#F001 Red Dot Finder:

The simplest reflex sight to use is the

Stellarvue Red Dot Finder #F001. This is an inexpensive, plastic

reflex finder that projects a red dot on a glass window. The red dot

indicates where the telescope is pointed.  

For more information on this finder visit:

http://www.stellarvue.com/red-dot-finder/

The F001 red dot finder uses

the standard BB gun mount.

We offer a number of bases

that allow you to attach this

finder to your telescope.

To mount this finder to the

telescope mounting ring use

the F001EF base with is available separately.

ADVANCED REFLEX SIGHTS

We also offer a more advanced reflex sight, the multi-reticle finder #F002. Find this on the web at:

http://www.stellarvue.com/deep-sky-mrf-deluxe-red-dot-finder-f002/ 

This finder permits the user to select the desired reticle pattern including a red

dot (two sizes), a circle, or a crosshair pattern.The patterns shown below may

vary slightly. Merely move the lever at the rear of the finder to select the pattern

you prefer to use. 

The F002 Multi-reticle finder uses the standard riflescope

mount. To mount this finder to your telescope attach it to the

F002DA base and insert this into the dovetail shoe on the 

focuser as shown below.
