Where to source original Finder for SCT

[Rufusgj]

Hi All,

I have a second hand Celestron C6 XLT scope that came without the original 6x30 Finder scope and bracket. Does anybody know where I can get hold of one of these - I believe the part number is 51602-B and it is discontinued.

I have seen the 9x50 version for about £62 new but not sure I want to go to that size or price for this scope.

I have tried four or five different red dot style finders and would prefer to have the original.

Any help gratefully recieved.

Put a wanted advert up on the lounge and U.K. Astronomy Buy & Sell Someone may have an old one they don't want anymore.

Thanks Spaceboy,

I have already put an ad on the wanted section earlier today but as of yet no response - I may well try Astro Buy & Sell.

I found a couple of new finders online but they were all in either Canada or the USA - just wondered if anyone may have come across old stock in the UK anywhere.

Cheers

I guess you could keep an eye on AstroBoot but TBH it's rare to see many Celestron spares about. Astro boot have the equivalent sky-watcher version (in blue) so I guess if you felt the need you could always spray it.
