Finder Accessories

 
 

Finderscopes act as navigational aids that guide telescope users to precisely locate and align their instruments with celestial targets. Without these essential tools, observers would find themselves grappling in the dark, facing the daunting task of aligning a substantial telescope with a minuscule target—a scenario far from the recipe for success in astronomical endeavors.

Apertura’s founders have decades of experience in astronomy, so they know what users are looking for in a telescope (because it’s what they want, too!). Every telescope made by Apertura has a quality that can’t be beaten. When looking for accessories to improve your setup, you can count on repeatedly getting the same excellent quality.

One of the best accessories you can find is the Apertura Premium Finder Scope Shoe, designed to fit many different telescopes and securely hold your finder scope in place. Its importance lies in its ability to ensure proper alignment and stability, facilitating the precise pointing of the telescope toward specific celestial objects. By securely housing the finder scope, the Finder Shoe aids astronomers in locating and centering stars, planets, and deep-sky objects with remarkable accuracy.

This pivotal component ensures that the finder scope remains securely attached and aligned with the telescope's optical axis. A well-designed bracket such as the Apertura Dual Finder Scope Bracketenhances stability and facilitates easy adjustments for alignment purposes.
