Finder Scope

l picked up my scope from BATSC today after having it cleaned and collimated, it was only away for 5 working days which l consider great service.
While it was there l had Roger fit a new Russian made 8 x 50 finder scope.
The optics are fully coated with an 8 degree FOV which is absolutely huge, and the clarity is stunning, the cross hairs to not intersect so you can see the object at all times but best of all it has a graduated focuser at the viewing end of the finder which l must say has great feel about it.
l have only had a look at a few earth bound objects so far but l have the feeling this will be one of the best additions l have bought.
