Review on Celestron 51630 Pointer Telescope Finderscope by Fred Meeks

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best value Unity finder

I got it for $16 from Revain with lots Mounting adapters stolen. I have had many of these finders, this one is as good as anything I have used including TelRad. Replaceable battery, dimmable laser dot, alt/az adjustment screws for easy alignment. To be fair the TelRad has a cool crosshair projected onto the scope, this one just has a red dot but the end result is the same. Much better than the cheap standard 6x finder on a non-level mount. Nothing more to say, buy it instead of the more expensive TelRad, Orion and Celestron Unity (0 Zoom) viewfinders for a lot more money. For the fools asking stupid questions here instead of doing even the most basic research if you don't understand what the search for unity is, there is a new intelligent service called "Search Engine". Type "telescope unity finder" and actually LEARN what this product does before complaining that you are too stupid to install and use this very simple and reliable product. hahahaha

Pros
  • Small size means it fits almost any telescope, even works great with astronomical binoculars and spotting scopes
Cons
  • Not bad but...
