5.0 out of 5 stars Great right angled finder add on for an SCT
Reviewed in Canada on May 23, 2023
Does not come with dovetail holder, but fits most standard dovetail holders. Extension arm is good length (approx 4” or 10cm) to provide clearance for your head to have room to use right or left eye for viewing without contacting your scope body. Easy to realign if required after bumping by accident. Cross hairs are properly perpendicular. Using red ring, it can be refocused to your preference and locked. Got mine when on sale plus applying an additional discount coupon. Good deal for quality of unit. Diagonal mirror is very clear and the unit is very lightweight and made mostly of metal with some plastic. Looks like good quality and goes with other Astro gear very well. Viewport diameter is under 1” and topside aperture is just over 1.25”. Can see clearly through viewport but no rubber ring for glasses. Comes with two lens caps. A good product so far.

I would have only given it one star but since it was not made with plastic I gave it two stars..
