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.

the standard BB gun mount.

that allow you to attach this
finder to your telescope.
