Finderscopes and Zero-Magnification Finders |
| A good finderscope is a key factor for successful (and consequently: joyful) observations. Quite often telescopes are sold with cheap, underperforming finderscopes for which the name "finder" might even be questioned. We offer good quality finderscopes of various types for your telescope - straight view finderscopes, angled view finderscopes and the modern and practical "zero magnification finders". In addition we offer finder brackets for these and other finders. |

TS 8x50 Finderscope - 90 Degree Angled View - Erect Image - incl. Finder Bracket

|
|
8x50 Finderscope with 90 Degree Angled View - Very Good Image Quality Our TS finderscope has a proper doublet achromatic objective for a clear and sharp image. Properly focused pinpoint stars won't escape your attention and you will be able to tell apart diffuse nebulae from stars - an enormous advantage and one of the most common problems in cheap finderscopes.

6x30 and 8x50 Finderscopes with Finder Brackets
Low-budget, good quality finderscopes. Much better than most of the cheap finderscopes that come with entry-level telescopes.

6x30 Finderscope with Finder Bracket
Compared with the standard, cheap 5x24 finderscopes this unit is an enormously helpful upgrade. You will see much more in this finderscope - its multi-coated doublet objective has a good image quality. Unlike most cheap 5x24 finders this 6x30 is not stopped down immediately behind the objective lenses. |
![]() 8x50 finderscope with finder bracket |
8x50 Finderscope with Finder Bracket The bigger sibling of the 6x30 finderscope. Like the 6x30 this unit has an achromatic objective, but the 8x50 has a larger aperture (lens diameter). It gathers more light and shows you fainter stars and objects. Advice: When using this finderscope under particularly dark skies (e.g. in the mountains) you will lose orientation due to the myriads of stars you see in the finder. In this case you should stop down the finder to approx. 30mm free aperture. |
![]() Finder shoe for various telescopes |
Attaching the Finderscope to Various Telescopes: Many telescopes have a quick release base (finder shoe) that is compatible with the finder brackets of the 6x30 and 8x50 finders. Most telescopes of the following brands have this feature: Vixen, GSO, Helios, Konus, Orion. But not every telescope is equipped with a quick release base for finderscopes. For these telescopes we offer the finder shoe separately. The finder shoe is the counterpart of the finder bracket. Just attach the finder shoe to your telescope and enjoy the advantages of a quick release base. Further Information: Visit our new Online Shop! |

RDA Multi-Dot Sight / Finderscope
more than just a simple red dot finder
![]() |
The TS RDA Multi-Dot Finder / Sight is more than just a simple red dot finder. You will see this at the first moment you hold it in your hands: It is made of metal (not plastic) and fits into most common finderscope bases (Vixen, Celestron, Skywatcher, ...) For other telescopes we offer the optional finder quick release base separately. The RDA is a perfect supplement to classical finderscopes, or a stand-alone finderscope in its own right. The optics are coated for improved transmission (see left image). For transport a rubber cover protects the glass plate from damages or dirt. Suited for Astronomy, Birdwatching and Target Shooting. The RDA is suitable for daytime use, twilight use and also for operation during the night. The reticle can be adjusted in brightness in seven increments for practically any application. |

Four Different Reticles You can switch between four different reticles, ranging from a simple dot to a circle with crosshair. Switching the reticles takes only a second. |

Red Dot Finders All red dot finders share the same principle. A small dot is projected onto the glass of the finder. When you look through the finder this dot is superimposed on the actual sky and will thus show you exactly where the telescope is pointing. All of these red dot finders use LED's. There are no Lasers involved - no danger to your eyes. ----------------------------------------------
