Celestron 51630 Star Telescope Finderscope, Black

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.

I have a Sky Watcher Newtonian telescope so was a bit hesitant to get this for it. The sight is actually really good! It was easy to install the battery and the housing for the foot was a little fiddly but not too bad to figure out. Once attached to the telescope, the sight was really simple to attach and calibrate. The sight gives a nice wide field of view with a bullseye in the middle. The bullseye can be dimmed or brightened as required and the dials for setting during calibration are simple to operate.This would probably suit most telescopes, as there are several footings of different shapes and sizes.

The pointer does its job, but the adjustments are not very precise. There's some wiggle in the horizontal adjuster (the one that moves the thing I'm holding in the last picture left or right). Maybe it's only on my product and can be fixed by tightening something, but it isn't critical as it doesn't get off by much and I can find the target after doing small adjustments.

The media could not be loaded. 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.

As usual, good service and product

Does what it says on the tin but its got a very meh feel to it. Only giving it three stars as the build quality is horrendous for the price

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.
