This red dot finder keeps the sky right-side up, matching what you see with your unaided eyes The adjustable red dot is bright enough to see day or night Attaches to just about any telescope thanks to the small footprint, even works great with astronomical binoculars and spotting scopes The Celestron StarPointer Finderscope is the way to go if you want the easiest way possible to locate an object and center it in your eyepiece. A red dot finder, unlike an optical finder, has 1x magnification, displays a super wide field of view, and keeps the sky right side up and left-to-right correct, matching what you see with your unaided eyes. An LED creates a red dot, superimposed on a viewing screen, so you simply point the StarPointer to the area or object you wish to observe, look through your eyepiece, and if properly aligned, the area in and around place you pointed the red dot will be centered in the field of view. If you like the idea of having some magnification, try installing both a red dot and optical finder on your telescope. Schmidt-Cassegrain and EdgeHD telescopes have multiple mounting bracket holes so you can get the best of both worlds. Just make sure to align both of them correctly, and you’ll get the best use out of each of your finders. How to Align the StarPointer Finderscope The first time you use your finder, you need to align it. This one-time setup procedure should be done during the day. Take the telescope outside and find an easily recognizable object, such as a streetlight, car license plate, or tall tree. The object should be as far away as possible, but at least a quarter mile away. Move the telescope left and right or up and down so that it is roughly pointing at the object. Look through the telescope using your low power eyepiece and move the telescope until the object you chose lies in the center of the view. Once the object is centered in your eyepiece, turn on the red dot. With your head positioned about a foot behind the finder, look through the round lens of the finder and locate the red dot. Without moving the telescope, use the two adjustment knobs located on the side and underneath the finder. One controls the left-right motion of the dot. The other controls the up-down motion of the dot. Adjust both of these until the red dot appears over the same object you are observing in the eyepiece. Review: Very Poor quality - First one was intermittent and returned and they sent replacement . Replacement had play and worst that first one. Threw it in garbage. No quality control at all. Celestron makes quality telescope but their pointers are garbage. Review: Does NOT fit a Celestron Firstscope - no instructions whatsoever - Seller name is "DAG Shop". The part comes like in the picture; but just wrapped in clingwrap. That's all! No papers, instructions, whatsoever. No brand name anywhere on the part. So I have no idea who the manufacturer is; or if I received an original Celestron Finderscope. It does not fit on a Celestron Firstscope model. That is because the Firstscope just has two screws protruding out of the sight tube, and no mounting bracket. The Finderscope mount does not have any holes to enable fastening to the Firstscope screws. ## Features - The star pointer finderscope adds point and look functionality to any telescope - This red dot finder keeps the sky right-side up, matching what you see with your unaided eyes - The adjustable red dot is bright enough to see day or night - Attaches to just about any telescope thanks to the small footprint - Includes mounting base and a long-lasting CR2032 3V battery ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00009X3UU | | Additional Features | Red Dot Finder, Wide Field of View, Right-Side-Up View | | Best Sellers Rank | #43,835 in Electronics ( See Top 100 in Electronics ) #7 in Telescope Finder Scopes | | Brand | Celestron | | Built-In Media | 1 x Celestron Star Pointer Telescope Finderscope, Black | | Compatible Devices | Telescope, telescope, spotting scope | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 2,079 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 2 Years | | Eye Piece Lens Description | Barlow | | Eye piece lens description | Barlow | | Finderscope | Reflex | | Focus Type | Manual Focus | | Focus type | Manual Focus | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00050234516303 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 15.6D x 7W x 4.1H centimeters | | Item Type Name | Star Pointer Finderscope | | Item Weight | 0.2 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Celestron Acquisition, LLC | | Manufacturer Part Number | 51630-CGL | | Model Name | StarPointer Finderscope | | Model Number | 51630-CGL | | Model name | StarPointer Finderscope | | Mount | Altazimuth Mount | | Number of Batteries | 1 Lithium Metal batteries required.

If you have an available dovetail, great; if you don't want to drill holes just stick it on with some double sided tape - it's very light. Keep in mind though that I hardly use it anymore, because I got a Telrad finder, which makes finding and centering objects way, but way easier. **Q: Is this mounted by dovetail or otherwise?** A: It has a base that attaches to the scope. Then the site slides into a dove tail mount on the base **Q: Can this be mounted on a Celestron funscope?** A: It should. I mounted mine on my AstroMaster 70EQ. It works great! **Q: Can this attach to Skywatcher 10 in dobsonian?** A: It comes with several different adapters to connect it. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Very Poor quality *by A***Y on 15 February 2025* First one was intermittent and returned and they sent replacement .
