torinouk Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I bought one of those cheap Kson red dot finders off ebay last week and have just tried it out tonight for the first time. Fantastic piece of kit and much easier to find things than the standard small finder that was on my scope.I'd been trying to find M81 and M82 without success but tonight found them straight away. If any other newbie is struggling with their standard finder then I'd definatly recommend getting a red dot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talitha Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Absolutely! I can't remember how many years ago Orion (here in the States) introduced their red-dot finders, but i ordered one and loved it.. very intuitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xmal Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I got a second hand scope with one already mounted, but the battery was dead on it. I will have to pop a new battery in and give mine a try next clear night..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
