The \u003cb\u003eExplore Scientific 8x50 Correct Image Illuminated Reticle Right Angle Finder Scope\u003c\/b\u003e is a worthy optical instrument in its own right. With individual objective and eyepiece focus adjustments, a long eye-relief eyepiece, a precision-etched open circle illuminated reticle (that will not hide the star that you center), and fully multi-coated optics you'll effortlessly find and center objects with any telescope that it is used on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its northern and southern polar reference markings, Explore Scientific’s 8x50 Illuminated Polar Finder Scope with NEW long battery life Illuminator (FNDRILLUM-02) allows for quick and precise polar alignments with any equatorial mount. The deep red illumination can be controlled by the variable brightness knob, which also serves as the illuminator's on\/off switch. This finder features a 90° eyepiece, erect image viewing and a 6° field of view. It also offers precision focus on both the main objective and the eyepiece reticle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eExplore Scientific 8x50 Correct Image Illuminated Reticle Right Angle Finder Scope\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale markings and open center, not only helps you center objects precisely but gives a reference of the exact field of view in degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes Northern and Southern polar reference markings which allow for quick and precise polar alignments with any equatorial mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe quick-release design of the Explore Scientific finderscope bracket allows you to attach the finder to your telescope quickly and easily.
