Enhance your stargazing experience with the Celestron Illuminated RACI Finder Scope, a superior alternative to the standard finderscopes on many Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes. This robust 9x50 finder provides right side up, left-to-right correct views, making it a versatile tool for both daytime and nighttime observation.

Optimal Viewing Comfort

The right-angle, correct-image (RACI) design significantly reduces neck strain, making it more comfortable to locate and track celestial objects. The eyepiece can be rotated for the perfect viewing angle, ensuring ease of use regardless of the telescope’s position.

Clear and Precise Targeting

Featuring a 50mm optic for bright, sharp images and a 9x magnification with a 5º apparent field of view, this finder scope makes locating celestial objects a breeze. The illuminated double-crosshair reticle offers precise centering of objects without obscuring stars, ideal for both aligning your computerized telescope and manually finding deep-sky objects.

Adjustable Illumination

The battery-powered illuminator softly lights up the crosshair in a gentle red glow, aiding in nighttime visibility without impacting your night vision. The illumination intensity can be easily adjusted, providing the perfect brightness for various viewing conditions.

Easy Installation and Alignment

The finder comes with a sturdy double ring bracket, featuring an integrated dovetail for quick and effortless attachment and removal from most Schmidt-Cassegrain and EdgeHD optical tubes. The oversized thumbscrews make alignment simple and precise, maintaining its configuration even after detachment.

The Celestron Illuminated RACI Finder Scope is more than just an accessory; it's an essential upgrade for comfortable, precise astronomical observation, combining user-friendly features with reliable performance for amateur astronomers and seasoned stargazers alike.
