Celestron 50mm Straight Thru Non-illuminated Finderscope (#51611) in Box (LIKE NEW!)

• Aperture:

  • 50mm objective lens, providing a bright image that’s helpful for locating objects in low-light conditions and giving better visibility of faint stars and deep-sky objects than smaller finderscopes.
  • The 50mm size strikes a balance between compactness and light-gathering capability, making it effective for most amateur telescopes.

• Magnification:

  • Offers a low magnification that provides a wide field of view, which is essential for accurately centering objects in the telescope’s primary optics.
  • The wide field makes it easier to spot and track celestial objects without excessive searching.

• Straight-Through Viewing:

  • Designed for straight-through viewing, which means you look directly through the finderscope to aim at your target.
  • This type of design aligns more naturally with the main telescope's line of sight, making it intuitive to use, though it may require a bit more bending to look through.

• Optical Quality:

  • Coated optics to enhance image brightness and clarity, helping users see fine details when aligning their telescope.
  • The coated lens ensures good image quality even in less-than-ideal light conditions.

• Non-illuminated Reticle:

  • Features crosshairs that help center the target in the field of view but lacks illumination, which keeps things simple and reduces light interference in darker observing locations.

• Mounting Bracket:

  • Comes with a mounting bracket that is compatible with most Celestron and other brand telescopes, allowing for easy installation and secure attachment.

The Celestron 50mm Straight-Through Non-illuminated Finderscope provides a straightforward and reliable way to locate objects in the night sky. Its bright and wide field of view, combined with a simple crosshair reticle, makes it ideal for those who want a no-fuss, traditional finderscope. Although it may not offer the comfort of a right-angle finder or the convenience of an illuminated reticle, it is a dependable choice for beginners and experienced astronomers alike who prefer a classic, unobtrusive setup.
