Find it fast with the Antares 7x 50mm finders. These are high quality finders that many of my customers have reported to me "My Antares finder lets me see and target faint objects like globular clusters without star charts even near city limits." I've myself have seen the Moons of Jupiter through my 7x 50 mm RACI finder when they are separated from the Jovian disk. Standard features include multicoated objective lens, helical focusing, eyepiece with rubber eye guard, 52 degree apparent field, & 21 mm relief, internal baffling, dust caps and focusable wire reticle that can be seen from dark sky sites. There are three models available, each in a color to match your scope. I use these finders on all my telescopes. I find the image presented are clean, crisp, and contrasty. These Antares finders are a solid upgrade to cheap mass produced finders.
