Lightweight and universally mountable without drilling, it offers effortless alignment and quick detachment for storage, making it an essential tool for serious stargazers seeking precision and convenience. ## Description The easiest way to aim a telescope. The view seen through the window of the Telrad is continuous with the sky around it, not magnified or upside down. Three rings are lighted and appear to lie among the stars. The small ring outlines the Moon-sized area seen in the telescope. The large outer ring outlines the area seen in a standard Finderscope. To point your telescope, just look through the Telrad and move the telescope until the rings are centered on the object. The Telrad is 8 inches long. Weighs 11 ounces and mounts on any telescope without drilling any holes. It unlocks from its base for separate storage. Requires 2 AA batteries (not included). Review: This is a must-have for most telescope owners. - There are an astonishing number of ways this finder is superior to the 8x50 right angle corrected finder that came with my Dobsonian telescope. Let's run down them. 1. This is a straight through finder, meaning when you look through it, you're looking along the same direction as the telescope tube. The right angle finder makes me feel lost. 2. This is a reflex sight, which takes virtually all guesswork out of knowing exactly where your telescope is pointing, compared to a finder that magnifies and makes you feel lost. 3. This is a reflex sight, which means you can use this finder with both eyes open. No more squinting, and it's easier to see dim stars this way. Also, when the finder dews over, it can still be used this way, since your brain will overlay the rings from the dewed up Telrad on the night sky you're seeing with your other eye. There are accessories and solutions to fight dew, but you may never need them if you learn to do this. Once an 8x50 finder dews over, it's useless until you warm it back up. 4. This is a reflex sight, which means it doesn't turn anything upside down. 5. Stellarium has a Telrad overlay. 6. This finder is very lightweight and comes with everything you need to mount it on the telescope, no tools required. 7. This finder stays dead-on after adjusting it, even after putting it in your car, traveling, even removing the finder and putting it back on does not affect the accuracy of the finder. Adjust it once and forget it. 8. The brightness of the rings is adjustable. This is a crucial feature because this finder works best when the rings are about the same brightness as the stars you're looking at. Unfortunately this finder isn't one-size-fits-all. It's rather large (though lightweight) and mounting it on a small refractor may be a different story than on an 8" Dobsonian. And it requires 2 AA batteries, but trust that they will last a very long time even if you're an ardent astronomer. I waited far too long to add this accessory to my telescope and it has already made it possible to find several targets I would've struggled to find with the 8x50 finder. It's very likely you'll be able to find more stuff with this than with an 8x50 finder alone. Don't wait too long to get this! Review: Amazing results for newbie - Here's the short version: This finder scope is amazing and worth every penny. Long version: I got a Celestron 114EQ as a birthday gift and I could basically find the moon. Anything else was an exercise in patience rather than astronomy thanks to 'finder' scope on the 114EQ. The first time I turned on the Telrad I was dumbfounded by how much easier it was to operate and adjust. For anyone wanting to spend more time looking AT objects instead of looking FOR objects, get this finder scope. My backyard has several street lights shining onto it and I'm surrounded by pine trees that completely obstruct my line of sight. I have to frequently pick my scope up and move around to different parts of the yard for line of sight which previously killed the whole experience for me. But the Telrad lets me move anywhere, acquire my target in about five seconds and keep on viewing. If you're looking for a replacement finder scope you cannot go wrong with this guy. Other thoughts: The finder scope is large. Especially on the 114EQ the base will not fit on the tube without modification (the base is long enough that it has to cross over the tube mounting rings). I debated what to do but in my impatience I just used a miter saw to cut a section out of the middle of the base and put the two base pieces on either side of the tube mounting rings. The finder scope only attaches to the base at the very front and back of the base so I wasn't very worried. It worked fine. I believe Telrad sells risers and/or extra bases if you're worried about cutting the base due to space constraints. Thankfully, the finder scope runs on AA batteries as opposed to the Klingon watch battery in the 114EQ's standard finder scope. Which is good because my standard 114EQ finder scope died in one night of use because I forgot that I left it on. The Telrad is much easier to check for on/off and the batteries are much easier to replace. Before purchasing I read some complaint(s) about how the power switch arm for the Telrad has an unnecessarily long sweep, say 360 degrees, but you only get useful sight illumination out of the last <90 degrees. Even if you want to pick at straws and actually complain about this 'problem' after an hour or so of use I actually appreciated how faint you can make the projects site rings. Again, I live in the suburbs with several streetlights shining into my backyard but even after finding some shade and adjusting to as much night vision as possible you can really go after faint stars or planets by making the scope rings very dim and not overpowering your target. ## Features - The easiest way to aim a telescope.

But, I look straight through the clear panel at a right angle to the OTA and can clearly see the sighting circles and easily align the scope even with objects near the zenith. I will share photgraphs. **Q: Will this substitute the Celestron 8se finder scope? Any suggestions?** A: Yes, and a lot of people do exactly that. The goal of the first step in the Celestron NexStar alignment process is to get the alignment stars within the eyepiece field. The Telrad has a much wider field than the stock Celestron red dot finder and you will find it far more intuitive to use. **Q: Does the telrad come with a mounting base, or do you have to buy one separately?** A: The Telrad includes one base. Additional bases can be purchased separately (Amazon sells them for $9.95). I purchased several additional bases and applied them to all of my scopes. This way I can just move the Telrad to whichever one I want to use quickly and easily. **Q: Will this fit on celestron 127 eq, without any issues ? need to replace the stock one. would appreciate if anyone can help me** A: It will fit any telescope, because it comes with its own base plate, which can be affixed to the telescope tube either using double sided tape (included) or by bolting it on.Although the Telrad itself is made entirely out of plastic and very light, it takes two standard AA batteries, which may be enough to throw your scope off balance.Which is why I ditto the previous poster on affixing it temporarily first (using elastic bands or normal tape), before drilling holes in the tube or using the very strong double sided tape supplied. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a must-have for most telescope owners. *by C***N on August 27, 2025* There are an astonishing number of ways this finder is superior to the 8x50 right angle corrected finder that came with my Dobsonian telescope.

Trying to get the tube on the object using the finder scope has been difficult for me. This Telrad bullseye makes it much easier to acquire an object. I align the Telrad, look through the tube and the object is usually in view. If not, I just refine with the other finder scope. Easy Peazy. The Telrad is easy to mount and use! ## Frequently Bought Together - Telrad Finder Sight - Finder Scope Mount Bracket Tri-Finder - Install 3 detectors, only one Bracket is Required --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/440421-finder-sight](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/440421-finder-sight) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-06-12*
