Celestron 51630 Star Telescope Finderscope, Black

This is a really excellent finder for the money. Don't let the inexpensive price put you off. This is a sturdy little red dot finder. Best thing is the battery compartment that actually uses a screw to open. A slight inconvenience maybe but much better than those snap-on ones that just end up snapping off. The finder works as advertised and is very well built. It also comes with a few different attachments to put on your scope. This really is a high quality item for the price. As long as it keeps working and doesn't pack up I'll be happy. I bought a right angled SkyWatcher viewfinder as well to save my neck pain, but this is a handy little thing to have anyway as it's so easy just to quickly dial in.

My Telrad gave up the ghost and at nearly £60 to replace I thought I'd give this a go. Very very impressed for the money. Not quite as user friendly as the Telrad as no concentric circles only a red dot, but for the price, it does the job. Very good value for money.

Well lets be realistic this was only £15 so as I'm used to spending far more on astronomy accessories I think that this is a fair price, ok it's plastic not metal but as long as it's not mistreated will be ok, the red dot luminosity can be adjusted, position has fine adjustment and it looks clear. I started with a Celestron Astromaster 130 and have progressed onto more advanced telescopes, my daughter has an interest in Astronomy so the Astromaster will be good to give to her as an introduction. However as so many say the Astromaster has a terrible red dot finder so this will replace that. It comes with a selection of fixings but none fit the Astromaster, however I found online a 3D print that adapts the fixing for the original one for this, fortunately I have a 3D printer. I think Celestron are missing a trick here and should include an adapter for the Astromaster as most complain about the original and it must affect sales of that model scope and I think many would do the 'upgrade' to this one. If I find a need to add a red dot finder to another scope or even a camera I would certainly get another one of these. Someone mentioned screws came with it - I've not noticed any?

When I have bought this Red Dot, in past,( but got rid of it whn wife taken ill.)worked great. But this time it would not turn off. This is a very good product, but man made can fail( this time) I will still give it 10/ 10 . It finds the stars accuratly no messing.

After using a couple of finder scopes, admittedly of dubious quality, I bought the red dot finder after reading a few recommendations. Easy to set up and align and makes finding visible objects in the night sky a breeze.

This is a replacement for my original red dot finder which finally died. Worked right out of the box and the red dot is crystal clear. What I particularly like is that it comes with several different mount fittings, so it's 99% certain that it will fit your particular tripod mount. No hesitation in recommending this item.

I bought this to replace my old broken pointerscope on my Celestron Firstscope 114EQ and this works very well. The adjustable light is very useful. Comes with many mounts so it would probably fit most telescopes. Extremely easy to adjust. Only took a couple of minutes. 5 stars.

I tried using it for my telescope. It’s a bit pricey, but being a genuine product gives peace of mind. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do, helping locate stars without any issues.

ممتاز شكرا على الخدمة الممتازة والمنتج وصل بتغليف ممتاز وبحالة سليمة

It’s dirt cheap and works great! It’s easy to use. I use this finder to get my high quality finder close. Why use both? Because it’s way easier to find your fine adjustment star if you are close.

Easy to set up and use. It works very well and seems to be quite accurate.

First one was intermittent and returned and they sent replacement . Replacement had play and worst that first one. Threw it in garbage. No quality control at all. Celestron makes quality telescope but their pointers are garbage.

Genial, como siempre, Celestron no defrauda
