It also works with a 2" filter, holding it in front of the finder, to find the Helix.

I have done it with eyepiece only, but I always worried handling filters - especially with gloves. They are certain to head for the dirt! So I have the main 2" filters permanently in a slide and this 1.25" OIII in a holder.

Must try blinking the finderscope sometime!
