I made myself a quick-finder.

12" of 50mm PVC pipe, 1 - 50mm 90 degree PVC bend, and a small piece of mirror (normal household mirror).

I set the mirror at 45 degrees in the bend. Placed the pipe into the bend, coat of paint, lined it up and mounted it.

The quickfinder is located where I can see into it standing exactly where I stand when viewing.

It gives a very clear view of the area I want to look at. Once the area is quickly located I then use the 8X50 finder to centre the object I am after.

More often than not, when I look through the finder, I have the object near centre with the quickfinder! (comes with practice)

Sometimes I don't even use a finder, just the quickfinder.

I need to get a camera to show you these things I've made.
