Stellarvue 10x60mm Finderscope - Matte Black
Get more reach with a small lightweight finderscope with all of the features of the F50-2 series but a larger objective. 60mm f-3.75, fully multicoated! At only 23 ounces, this finder  is lighter than competitive 50mm finders! This finderscope works with all  of our standard 50mm ring systems except the clamshell. The 60mm  finderscope comes in a neutral matte black finish that goes well with any telescope regardless of color. Included with each finderscope is our standard  23mm, fully multicoated crosshair eyepiece with wide crosshairs, 1.25" helical  focuser, rotating back (requires some finder re-alignment after rotation) and  fully multi-coated correct image erecting prism. This is the finderscope only.  It uses the R50 mounting ring systems sold separately below.

The 60mm finderscope has a tube diameter of 63.5mm.
