Hi all,

I am looking for a very good quality finder scope to be used on a main scope that has a focal length of 2500mm. Hopefully it has a variable illuminated reticle, and I’m not sure on the size: may be 8 x 50mm or 9 x 50mm? In the past with my VC200L, the Vixen finder itself was very good, but the alignment screws were a little difficult to adjust.

I am hoping someone can share their experience with their finder scope, and what they like about theirs. Whilst in the field, things do not always go perfect, and some gotos are not in the FOV of your camera.

I have recently made an electronic finder scope with a Meade DSI 2 and a Nikon 70mm-200mm lens, and this works very well. But, I would like a visual finder too.

Thanks if anyone can help out,

Cheers,

Steve
