Finderscope features:
Orion brand
Includes mounting bracket (standard Skywatcher/Orion accessory shoe, fits most 'scopes)
Illuminated dual cross-hair, variable brightness
Right-Angle, Correct Image (RACI)
9x magnification
50mm aperture
X-Y collimation adjustment, variable tension
Both end-caps included
Virtually mint in box, only used once. Batteries are still fresh (see second photo, which shows cross-hair at maximum brightness).
It's packaged in the original box and will be posted double-boxed (as it's slightly too large to fit in a satchel when bubble-wrapped). Outer box dimensions are 28 x 21 x 16cm; boxed weight is approximately 1100g.
Brand new, these cost $129 + postage.
Will sell for $95 + postage (at cost) calculated when you give me your postcode, or you can pick-up if you're in Brisbane.
I'm selling because, when mounted on top of my SCT, the top of the eyepiece is slightly too high at some elevations and I don't want to have to stand on a box. I've reverted to the straight-through version illuminated finder as craning my neck is better than not being able to use it some of the time. On a refractor or Dobsonian, the height difference would be bugger all - that's what I suspect it was designed for - I think it'd be extremely handy on a Dobsonian.
Thanks for looking.
