Finder Scopes & Guide Scopes

 
 

Finderscopes and guidescopes are two of the most common accessories used by amateur astronomers no matter what their telescope type or preference may be. Time spent observing is precious so it is important to be able to locate the objects you want to view easily and accurately. Imaging is no different. Guiding your exposures is a must to be certain you are getting the best images you can.

Since these are such important accessories, it only makes sense to use ones that are well made and accurate. Finderscopes should be able to be easily adjusted and aligned and should be able to maintain their adjustment/alignment over time. Finderscopes should also be easy and comfortable to view through. Guidescopes should be of good optical quality and show nice, round, pinpoint stars. They too need to be easily adjustable and hold their adjustment over time, just like the finder scopes. If you have any questions about which finderscope or guidescope is right for you, you can always reach out to our High Point Scientific non-commissioned product advisors, and they will be happy to help.
