Hi all

Could anyone be kind enough to suggest a spotting scope for my nexstar ? The finderscope that came with it didn't work , and anyway many said it is useless :/

thanks

In order of preference.

Telrad 1:1 zero magnification reflex site

9x50 (RACI) Right Angle Correct Image finderscope

Some people have also used small refractors

Lastly, just a plain old 9x50 finder.

trezegol,

I take it the 8SE had the red dot finder with the single rail mount bracket. To put a decent finder scope on it you would have to replace the bracket with this one.

Then you can mount any of these finder scopes. I would go with the 9 X 50 models personally.

If you have a Telrad the right angle model would work  to relieve neck strain after you get in the general area , other wise the straight through and two eyes open method would work.
