Solves alot of problems, does alot right

one thing i hate about red dot finders is they can block the star, faint stars in the city can't be seen by them and its like looking through a tiny key hole when using it and the faint star is already hard enough to find! in comes the celestron raci

magnifies faint stars, does not block star by its illumination, correct image, so moving around is not a confusing torture!, doesnt hurt neck, field of view FEELS big not like the little plastic viewfinders but like having a little real scope on board.

I put a bit of red nail polish on the bulb to make the adjustable brightness start from "very faint" to brighter. Much better.

The two holes it mounts with are the same footprint as a small dovetail mount. Remove your dovetail and use its mounting screws. Celestron mounting bracket is made for the "curve" of your tube.

For all these features you could pay alot more. So it makes your experience of locating objects in the sky then going to your eyepiece much more enjoyable and less a pain. Isn't that what its all about? It solid and more than a pound and a half so, you need to calculate that it. Its fine on my ten inch dob.

I wont be a winer and quible about this or that so i give it a happy five stars. clear skies!

Celestron illuminated right angle finder

9 power is too strong. 7 power would have been better for locating starts. Does not come with the hex wrench needed to adjust the finder alignment tk the optical scope. View obstructed by two black flecks and a short black thread. Much superior to the red dot finder the 8 inch sct nexstar evolution came with.

Description

Highlights

  • Upgrade your finder and stop straining your neck and back!
  • This well-built 9x50 finder displays right side up, left-to-right correct views, a great choice for both daytime and nighttime use
  • Illuminated double-crosshair reticle doesn't hide stars
  • Includes double ring bracket with integrated dovetail
  • The Celestron Illuminator runs on 3 LR1130 batteries, which can be accessed by unscrewing the end of the silver illuminator module.  Be sure to note which side up the batteries go when removing them.

The Celestron 9x50 Right Angle Correct Image (RACI) Illuminated Finder is a great upgrade to the stock finderscopes found on many Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes. The 50 mm optics produce bright, sharp images with a magnification of 9X and a 5º apparent field of view. Meanwhile, the right-angle, correct-image design keeps objects right-side up and left-to-right correct, making it easier to locate objects as well as track them as they drift through the field of view. The eyepiece module can be rotated left or right so you can find the perfect viewing angle.

The double-crosshair reticle etched in the eyepiece makes it easy to center an object, whether you are aligning your computerized telescope or finding deep-sky objects on your own. The reticle can be focused separate from the finder itself. A battery-powered illuminator lights up the crosshair with a soft, red glow, and the illumination can be easily adjusted by turning the on/off knob.

The Celestron 9x50 RACI Finder comes with a sturdy bracket consisting of two rings and an integrated dovetail. Adjusting the alignment of the finder is easy with the oversized thumbscrews. The dovetail allows for easy attachment to and removal from most Schmidt-Cassegrain and EdgeHD optical tube assemblies without affecting the alignment of the finderscope.
