Omegon Finder Scope 9x50 with Straight-Through View

Omegon Finderscope 9×50 with Straight-Through View: more aperture, more stars

With a 50 mm aperture, this finder scope gathers considerably more light than a 30 mm model. Fainter stars and bright deep-sky objects such as star clusters are thus brought into view, which makes aiming at faint targets much easier.

Optics

The achromatic optics deliver a bright and lifelike image, and the multi-coating prevents distracting reflections. At 9x magnification, you see enough detail to orient yourself without losing the overview.

Straight view

You look lengthwise through the finder, just like through the main telescope. That is intuitive for objects low in the sky; for objects high above you, the posture becomes less comfortable. That is what the right-angle version is intended for.

Featured accessories

Comes with a stable mount. Pay attention to the image orientation: a standard finder scope gives an inverted image, which makes comparing with a star chart more difficult. Versions with an upright image are more forgiving in that regard, especially for beginners.

For whom yes and for whom no

• ✓ Owners of medium and large telescopes
• ✓ Looking for weak objects
• ✓ Observers accustomed to direct viewing angles
• ✗ Those who look towards the zenith: choose an angled finder
• ✗ Small telescopes: a 6×30 is lighter and suffices
