Orion 9x60mm Straight Through Non-illuminated Finderscope (JAPAN) LIKE NEW

The Orion 9x60mm Straight-Through Non-illuminated Finderscope is a powerful tool designed to assist astronomers in locating and centering celestial objects with ease. With its large aperture and increased magnification, it offers an enhanced viewing experience compared to standard finderscopes, making it ideal for deep-sky observing.

Key Features:

• Aperture:

  • 60mm objective lens, providing excellent light-gathering power. This larger aperture allows more faint stars and deep-sky objects to be visible through the finderscope, making it particularly useful for observing in darker skies.
  • The increased aperture size helps in locating faint objects that might not be visible in smaller finderscopes.

• Magnification:

  • 9x magnification offers a detailed, close-up view that allows for more precise centering of objects in the telescope’s main field of view.
  • This higher magnification is particularly useful for detailed star-hopping and finding objects in crowded star fields.

• Straight-Through Viewing:

  • A straight-through design, meaning you look directly along the same line as the telescope’s main optics. This makes it intuitive to aim and center objects, although it may require leaning to align your eye with the finderscope.
  • Ideal for astronomers who prefer traditional aiming methods and don’t mind the straight-through alignment.

• Optical Quality:

  • Fully coated optics to enhance light transmission and image contrast, providing clear and bright views. This ensures that the image quality is sharp and detailed, even when observing faint objects.

• Non-illuminated Reticle:

  • Crosshair reticle that aids in centering objects without illumination, ideal for minimizing light interference in dark-sky conditions.
  • The non-illuminated reticle offers a clean, unobtrusive view, allowing for easy alignment without adding excess light.

• Mounting Bracket:

  • Comes with a mounting bracket compatible with most telescopes, featuring adjustment screws to align the finderscope with the telescope’s main optics for accurate targeting.
