What's so great about the Multi Reticule Finder?

The quality construction makes this accessory a joy to use - its the perfect finder accessory for popular telescopes equipped with a standard quick-release fitting shoe for finders. The MRF's high build quality and finish will compliment your instrument perfectly, but it's "in action" that this finder really excels.

It's shockproof and waterproof (dew-proof!) and retains its collimation even after repeated removal and refitting cycles. Chrome thumbscrews allow the finder to be fitted to the dovetail support in seconds.

The four switch selectable reticules range from 1) a perfect half-a-degree circle with centre spot (ideal for deep-sky target finding using maps), 2) a simple mini-dot for star hopping, 3) a punctuated cross - useful for planet finding and feature ID-ing on the Moon. And finally, 4) a combined circle and cross (we're still waiting for someone to think up a good use for this one!). The chunky brightness control has seven different settings.

This type of non-magnifying and non-inverting finder allows you to accurately point the telescope with both eyes open. Unlike optical finders, you don't need to get your eye close to it - you can look along the telescope tube at almost any convenient distance to see any of the four reticule forms apparently projected on the sky. The finder doesn't actually project the reticule image on the sky of course, but creates a clever optical illusion that by looking through the rear of the finder, it appears that the glowing reticule is projected on the sky. This is probably the easiest type of finder to use, but is extremely useful to experienced astronomers as well.
