I have a 8x50 right angle correct image Finder which I obtained as part of a 2nd hand scope purchase earlier this year. It seems to be pretty good quality, and the previous owner said he paid over $200 for it, but I am not sure what brand it is. I do not use the finder, having gotten hooked on a laser pointer & Argo Navis combination about 12 months ago.
Some details are as follows:
- eyepiece has focus adjustment and seems to be good quality
- adjustable rings include inner rings to avoid the adjustment screws damaging the finder OTA
- includes a dew shield and dust caps for both ends
- 2 piece base is wider and steadier than a standard Orion/Synta/GSO base
- OTA is currently white and has several paint chips
Asking $65 plus postage.
For an extra $5, I would be happy to spray the OTA black using epoxy enamel (gloss or matt).
Please send a PM interested.
Cheers,
Jeff
