Instead of peering through a small finder tube, you look past an illuminated red projection pattern of concentric circles with both eyes open. As a result, you intuitively navigate the night sky, without magnification or fuss. Stars you can hardly see with the naked eye can be found with the Telrad thanks to the 0.5\u00b0, 2\u00b0 and 4\u00b0 circles, exactly what you need to use, for example, star charts or Telrad maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The viewfinder comes with a sturdy plastic base plate, which you can mount on virtually any telescope tube from 30 cm circumference. The Telrad is lightweight, runs on two AA batteries and has infinitely adjustable brightness. No magnification also means no inversion: what you see matches the sky. That makes it perfect for visual observers who want to learn to navigate among the stars themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, those familiar with the \u2018Telrad trick\u2019 know that you can even roughly align an alt-az mount to a star with this viewfinder, ideal for a quick session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Specifications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>General<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Type: Finder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Design: red dot \/ projection finder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Weight: about 200 grams<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Power supply: 2x AA batteries (not included)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fastening: with self-adhesive or screwable base<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compatibility: pipe diameter from \u00b1 100 mm (30 cm circumference) onwards<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Telrad red dot finder - The favorite among visual observers.
