Explore Scientific Illuminated Polar Finder Scope
I mounted the Explore Scienfific Illuminated polar finder scope on my ETX105, hoping to make it easier to locate the nights celestial targets. Oh, this was a sad day for me, for I now realized how awful most of my equipment truly was. NEVER have I looked through a cleaner, brighter, high contrasty scope as I did when I started using this wonderful finder scope! This is high-end stuff. I plan to mount the finder scope on my Japanese Vixen FL102 (not Orion or Celestron) for what I hope will be the match made in heaven for the finders high quality. Then I will address that comparison, hopefully making another entry in this forum. The features on the ES finder are first class. I am not even slightly disappointed in this purchase. Thank you, Explore Scientific and the team who designed and built this fine instrument.
