If you want a finderscope that is as sharp and flexible as a telescope, this is it! Our F80D2 Super Finderscope includes our 80mm f-6 air spaced, hand figured objective, 2" Crayford focuser, 2" 40 mm clear aperture correct image erecting prism and our huge 2" 70 degree 32 mm wide field focusing cross-hair reticle eyepiece that accepts an optional Pulse Guide illuminator.

While this system is heavier than our finderscopes, it is sharper since it uses a precision  objective mounted in our adjustable lens cell. If you want a finderscope that is sharper and delivers a higher level of performance, this is it!

The Super Finderscope does not work with our finderscope rings. It requires guide-scope rings as shown below. These ring systems fit a variety of telescopes and will work with any of our 80 - 102 mm refractors.

  • C80 foam lined hard case ($85 value).

Rigel Pulse Guide Illuminator.  This illuminator will screw into the eyepieces of any of the finderscope above to provide you with a variable brightness red illumination on your crosshair. Vary the brightness to suit your preference. Tow small knobs allow you to adjust the pulsation of the light so it blinks on and off at the rate you prefer. One knob controls how long the light is off and one how long it remains on. The blinking light allows you to see the object you are centering and the crosshair vividly. #EI
