Baader sky surfer v

[Hex]

Has anyone out there got one of these? Do they have a metal base and are they a instant fit on a frac fitted with a Moonlight focuser.

I have one and yes they do have a metal base - attached pics with a Skywatcher RACI & Orion RD

I have one mounted on my CPC1100. Yes, the base/mount are all metal.

Thanks for that pictures, they look like a good solid finder, how do you find them to use?

Just added a Baader Sky Surfer 5 to my CPC800 and WHAT AN IMPROVEMENT!!!

1. The sky surfer 5 oozes quality. Well made, all metal, dew covers. you adjust the dot position via a screw driver and every adjustment makes a lovely solid click sound that just gives you confidence that it aint going to slip out of alignment

2. Using the sky surfer reduces time to navigate by 95% compared to trying to use the supplied finder scope (and you also do not strain/break your neck in the process)

fyi, if youre interested there is an adaptor included that allowed attachment to the CPC800 without the need to buy any extra bits.

Overall I am well impressed.

[alanjgreen]

I got it from FLO (no surprise there!)

Maybe I got the last one - they look out of stock (just looked)

Bought a Skysurfer V myself a few weeks ago. I have always gotten on better with rdf's instead of telescopic finders. What a fantastic piece of gear. Very solid, well made and looks the bizz. Have only had the chance to set it up on my C9.25 ota the other day, so haven't had it outside yet. Judging by what others have said about it I am very confident that it will perform very well.
