Telrad Reflex Sight Finder with Pulse Button
Telrad Reflex Sight Finder with Built-In Pulser Unit
Looking to upgrade your observing sessions? The Telrad Reflex Sight Finder makes target locating a breeze. This finder displays a red illuminated bulls-eye reticle that appears to project onto the background sky. Built with an integrated pulser unit, manually finding objects has never been easier!
This Telrad Reflex Sight Finder with Pulse Button is a powerful upgrade for your telescope. The bulls-eye reticle projects onto a specialized “holographic” viewing lens for clear views on the background stars, and the added pulse button further enhances your pointing precision. With the included remote, simply press and hold the button for the desired length of time to turn off the reticle and release the button to turn it back on. This correct-image, non-magnifying Telrad finder presents the sky as you would see it with your naked eye, and even allows you to utilize both eyes for heightened accuracy. Included with the Telrad is a telescope base mount and two double-sided adhesive strips for easy installation. Two AA batteries (sold separately) are required to power the Telrad Reflex Sight Finder.

Target Locating Made Easy
Featuring customizable on/off illumination, and a user-friendly "holographic" bulls-eye reticle, this fan-favorite sight finder is a powerful addition to your telescope. Read on to learn why the Telrad Reflex Finder is one of the most recommended telescope accessories on the market!
Built-In Pulser Unit for Precise Pointing
Included with this Telrad Sight Finder is a 23” cable with a button at the end. Pressing and holding this button turns off the illuminated reticle for your desired length of time, and releasing it reinstates the reticle. The option to turn off the reticle allows you to see fainter stars and therefore increase your pointing accuracy. This is especially useful for those in light polluted areas or while observing during a gibbous Moon phase, with the night sky boasting far less contrast. This Telrad Sight Finder displays three red concentric circles spaced at 4°, 2°, and 0.5°.
Transferable Design
One of the most popular features offered by the Telrad Sight Finder is the versatile base mount. After attaching the base mount to your optical tube with the included double-sided adhesive strips, you can easily lock the Telrad in place. When you're done viewing and ready to close up shop, simply unlock the base mount and you'll be able to remove the Telrad for safe storage. You can also purchase an additional base mount, making it easy to quickly mount your Telrad on another telescope when needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the benefit to the built-in pulser?
This built-in pulser allows you to manually toggle the illuminated reticle on or off with the included remote control. Under a gibbous Moon or within light polluted areas, the night sky is easily washed out, obscuring fainter stars and making it more difficult to align your reticle with the background sky. Under these harsh conditions, reducing any visual obstructions, such as the illuminated reticle of your finder, is vital for precise telescope alignment. Telrad makes this incredibly easy; simply press and hold the button on the remote to turn off the illuminated reticle for your desired length of time, then release the button to restore the reticle.
How do I attach a Telrad Sight Finder to my Telescope?
This Telrad Sight Finder comes with a unique base mount that can easily be attached to most optical tubes. The base mount includes (2) double-sided adhesive strips that allow for an incredibly simple installation. Once installed, the Telrad finder can be quickly mounted and later removed for safe storage or transport. Many users purchase an additional base mount, allowing them to easily transfer their Telrad between different telescopes when needed.
How to I align my Telrad Sight Finder with my Telescope?
Thanks to the large bulls-eye style reticle, aligning your Telrad with your telescope is incredibly simple. On the front side of the Telrad, you'll find three adjustment knobs. Once installed on your telescope, you can use these knobs to adjust the position of the reticle and align it with the view through your telescope's eyepiece. Typically, you'll want to work in small increments, rotating between knobs consistently in either a clockwise or counterclockwise pattern.
