If the Luminova is a reflector telescope (uses mirrors and the eyepiece is to the side, up near the large opening) it should come with a smaller scope which is a refractor which serves as a finder scope.

The littler scope will look like what most people consider "normal" ie like a pirate scope with lenses which you look straight through. It attaches to the bigger scope to help you "find" things in the larger scope.

I won't make life harder by talking about fields of view at this stage.

Got a picture of the Luminova?
