OPTICAL FINDERSCOPES
An optical finderscope has the advantage of gathering more light than the naked eye. Deep sky observers pre-
fer these when looking for faint objects. We designed our finder scopes with a 90-degree, fully multicoated,
correct image erecting prism, 1.25” helical focuser (so other 1.25” eyepieces could be used) and a reticle that
may be illuminated. They come in 50 mm, 60 mm and 80 mm.

FINDER MOUNTING RINGS
Your finderscope will need adjustable mounting rings that fit your model of telescope. Our 50 mm and 60 mm
finders use R50 rings. Our 80 mm finder will require the larger R80 rings. Below are various ring systems
made for our optical finders. To mount these finders to the focuser of your telescope use the #R50DA/R80DA
ring system. If you prefer to mount the finder to your mounting rings use the R50ET/R80ET ring system.
#R50FA/R80FA for
2.5” to 3.5” Feather
Touch focusers
#R50T/R80T mounts
to most Takahashi’s
#R50ST/R80ST mounts
to most SCT’s
#R50AT/R80AT mounts
to flat/curved surfaces
#R50DA/R80DA for
SV dovetail shoes
#R50ET/R80ET mounts
to SV hinged mounting rings
