Review on 🌟 Celestron 51635 StarPointer Pro Finderscope: Black, A Precision Tool for Stellar Navigation by Darryl Jennings

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very easy scope to set up

For a hobbyist like me, this finderscope is SO much easier to use than the 9x50 scope that comes with the scope. With the telescope-on-telescope technique, the person needs to see a small patch of sky in the finderscope in order to know which direction to move the telescope from there to the object they want to see. I don't have that much knowledge yet. THIS scope allows me to see the reticle and the rest of the sky at the same time, which is way faster than my speed. I used Jupiter as a target to line up the reticle with the scope and from that point on it was easy to use on other targets. The dimmable LED is a great feature, on the lowest setting it is easy to see without any glare.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Good but not great
