As part of clearing out the cupboards of a project I work with, I have 4 excellent 8x50 finders available. These are by Explore Scientific and are erect image, straight through illuminated finders. They have an ideal centre cross which has a ring in the centre so you can see what you're centering on as well as the usual cross which extends to the edge. The eyepiece is focusable. Wide field and good quality. Dust caps included for both ends. They are supplied with a mounting bracket, but they do not have the matching base to attach to the telescope. The bracket has a spring-loaded pivot on one side and 2 adjustment screws, which make it a dream to align.
2 are silver, 2 are white. Let me know if you have a preference. [Both white ones sold - only silver left now.]
In the picture you can see that one has a missing illuminator and missing bracket. The illuminator is on its way back to me but the bracket must still be in one of the cupboards hiding in a corner. It may or may not be found. If the 4th one sells and the bracket hasn't shown up then we'll come to some arrangement.
These have had almost no use and are in excellent condition. When new we paid US$180, but I note that the price on the Explore Scientific web site is now listed as US$130 (which is about AU$180 at the moment). I was hoping to get $150 each for these, but how about $140 for one. Plus postage (which is probably $10-15 depending on where you are). Bank transfer preferred although will take Paypal.
