Finderscopes are secondary scopes, used to help
locate objects in the main telescope. The larger
the finderscope, the more you’ll see, to an upper
limit of 50mm. Units larger than 50mm have
too narrow a field of view to be useful.
Finderscopes mount onto the main telescope
tube and are an invaluable tool in locating
objects for viewing.
