A good finder This item is well made, the optics are clear, and all the components are of good quality materials and construction. I'm using it with my Celestron C5. The right angled view makes it comfortable to use not matter what angle the telescope it pointing.

Excellent Finder Scope! Great quality finder scope! Well built, sharp optics, easy to align, and sturdy. The best part is the right-angle viewing, SO much more comfortable than straight-thru finders. The correct-image really helps too. Big upgrade from my previous finder. I'm giving it 5 stars but I do have one complaint and puzzlement. For some reason, the finder has a field-stop that is approximately 15 or so millimeters in diameter. So, in essence, it's not using the full 30mm objective lens' light gathering ability, but dumbing it down to about half of the objectives capability?! Usually, putting a field-stop points to sub-par quality lenses, which doesn't seem to be the case IMO of what I saw when I inspected the optics?? Overall though, despite the field-stop, this is a really good finder and I give it a big thumbs up.

Works great and does what I needed. I needed a good right angle finder for my 90mm scope but needed to stay within my budget. After looking at many and having bought more expensive ones for my larger scopes I decided to try this one. Good choice! This thing is very clear and sharp. It holds alignment beautifully. I like that it is "tall" as it gives a lot more space to work. I may have to buy another for another scope I have....haven't found anything better than this, especially at this price point.

ompact and light, which is a good thing! Saves me from dirt-crawling to see thru a red-dot finder. Standard dovetail mount, works like a charm on my ETX-125PE with a simple worm gear hose clamp all the way around it. A GREAT addition, and it's significantly lighter than an 8x50 unit.

Lightweight, Easy To Use I wanted a smaller RA finderscope on my Celestron 8SE to go along with a reticle finder. I didn't want anything too heavy and big since I now have two finderscopes on the SCT, and this is perfect. The view is clear and sharp. The objective is only 30mm as opposed to 50mm so the view will be smaller but it is accurate and is a good addition to the straight through reticle. It is metal and well made, and is black with red accents. I very much recommend this is an additional finderscope on your setup. If I was only using one finderscope, I would opt for 50mm, but with two, this smaller one is perfect. Product came well-packed.

Replaces the dinky finders I had been using -- very good optics A really nice finder scope with bright optics. Had some trouble adjusting the reticle to line up with the long axis of my telescope. Seller's customer service is knowledgeable and very prompt to answer queries.

No Neck Pain! Good finder scope. I like this finder scope a lot. My neck LOVES it! I tried a standard spotting scope once and my neck tapped out before I could even get a view through it. I tried SVBONY's red dot spotter and at shallow altitudes of the telescope it worked fine for bright objects but as the scope's altitude goes up, the neck pain does too. This little RACI finder scope is your neck's best friend. It's easy to find objects in the sky and easy to adjust. I agree it would feel more solid if it had 3 screws to adjust rather than 2 screws and a spring but I've bumped it a couple of times and found it was still aligned. I did notice very little difference with the focus adjustments but it feels fairly clear anyway. If you normally wear glasses but don't use them when observing, this is far better than a red dot spotter. For a red dot you have to wear your glasses to use it. No need with this RACI finder. Just go from the finder to the scope eyepiece.

A little miracle This is the best little finderscope I've ever owned. I use it on my SV 48P telescope all the time. It has just enough light grasp to be quite helpful in my suburban skies. And even more valuable than this is the right angle diagonal and correct image view. After years of using finderscopes with their upside down & backwards images, I'm worn out, both by craning my neck around to the finder and constantly doing the mental calculations to make sure I'm going the right direction while I'm star hopping to my targets. What obnoxiousnous. Now I just look down in the finderscope eyepiece and see a view that aligns with my eyeball, just magnified more. In fact, I must state that in a way this finderscope has rescued me from giving up on visual star observing, especially from city skies. It's got enough ability to facilitate star hopping and thus observing from my yard, instead of being dependent on dark skies a 90 minute drive away. Thank you SvBony. I can definitely recommend this product and will be buying more as needed. Addendum: I now own four of these. Energy single one of them works out of the box, sharp and clear. Can't recommend them enough!

Comfortably acquire a celestial target and learn the night sky in the process This style of finder has become my favorite. I find them more comfortable to use than a red dot or straight through. For me, there was a learning curve moving from a red dot or straight through to the angle finder, but the angle finder is actually pleasing to look through. I've gotten to where I can generally aim to within 7 degrees of a bright object without a finder, and the angle finder makes navigation from any bright object to your target object a cakewalk. For reference, of the seven stars that make up the big dipper, nearly all of them will fit in the field of view with their neighbor big dipper star. In fact, Alkaid and Mizar are about 7 degrees apart. With a star chart(stellarium for me) and a bright star, nothing is too hard to find. It also helps that up is up and right is right through this particular finder. Once you become familiar with the various micro asterisms scattered about the constellations, you'll be hopping from target to target with ease. Sometimes I will adjust the finder so my target falls off center, unobscured by the crosshairs. This is fun to do when splitting doubles; I can view the merged double through the finder then look through the eyepiece to take in the split pair. To sum it up, using an angle finder is an enjoyable way for me to find celestial targets and learn the night sky in the process. It's as comfortable to be at the finder as it is to be at the eyepiece, and the orientation of the night sky through the finder matches the star chart.

I could not be happier with this finder scope I wanted something better than the red dot finder that was included with my Celestron NexStar 8SE scope, and took a chance on this one. I'm very happy with it, and it is far better to use than the red dot because it has some decent magnification. I really like being able to line my stars up in the crosshairs. That gives me much better accuracy in aiming. A bit of advice: It comes with a rubber or neoprene O-ring. After you've mounted it, make sure you slide the O-ring back inside the mounting bracket. This provides important tension in the front area to keep the scope from wiggling around. There weren't any instructions about doing this, but it seemed obvious to me after a few moments. I just pushed it into the mount with my fingers without the need for any tools. The red ring is a jam or locknut to screw up against the back of the front lens barrel to keep it in place after you've focused it. Again, just finger tight and you're done. No problems. Elegantly simple. I really like the looks of this scope as well. It stands off the top of the main scope a couple of inches, and makes it easier to look into it from the rear. No need to put your cheek against the telescope barrel. The image is upside down, of course, because this is basically a small refractor scope. The image in my Celestron is right-side up, but I found no problem with this. The optics are quite good for this low price, and frankly, I wouldn't want any more magnification than I'm already getting. It's easy to spot the place in the sky you want to aim your main scope, and that's just what is needed. As I said, I could not be happier with this finder. It's a great balance of price and function. I would buy it again for any other scope I might buy in the future. If you own one of the Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain scopes, and are still using the supplied red dot finder, you need to get this little baby. Like me, you'll be very pleased with the upgrade! This is my fourth purchase of Svbony astro products, including a 2" 70 degree 25mm lens that I just love, and their SV205 telescope camera. I'm very impressed with their quality, and it's hard to beat their prices.

Good fit- Recommended Recommended - I got this 6x30mm finder with the Svbony SV550 80mm triplet APO. It's a nice match to the Sv550 APO , should be a nice match with any other Svbony telescope. Locks into the finder dovetail/shoe with a thumbscrew, once secured you're ready to go. After focus & alignment it performed well. The bracket/holder is gloss white with non-marring nylon adjuster screws opposing a spring-loaded chrome pin. I like the black finish/red anodized focus lock ring. Build quality is as good or better as any other I've used. Svbony products are new to me, but from what I've seen so far their build quality is top notch. I wouldn't hesitate to buy their products again.
