Telescope aiming aid

The Telrad Finder Sight provides a non-magnified window that shows the sky as it appears to the naked eye. Three illuminated rings appear superimposed on the stars, letting you centre an object without flipping or magnifying the view. It suits astronomers who want a quick, intuitive way to point a telescope at any target.

Replaces magnified finderscopes

Traditional finderscopes invert or magnify the field, making it harder to match star charts to the real sky. This unit removes that step by projecting rings directly onto a true-view window. The upgrade is worthwhile when you spend more time hunting for objects than observing them.

Handles Moon-to-finder fields

The smallest ring frames the area a typical eyepiece shows, while the outer ring matches a standard finderscope field. Two AA batteries power the red or green LED, which can be switched mid-session for contrast against changing sky brightness. It runs out when battery voltage drops below the LED threshold.
