Omegon LED-zoeker

I've never really got on with traditional finder scopes that provide a magnified view of a small patch of sky. Don't get me wrong, they have their place when homing in on a faint object, before moving on to the viewing or imaging through the main scope. But I've always liked to have some form of telescope-aligned mechanism to centre a object or patch of sky using an unmagnified wide-angle view, to complement a finder scope. This is where Red Dot Finders come in. I've used several different types over the years, of different designs and prices, but they all basically do the same thing. So when I bought a William Optics ZS73 refractor I wanted something small and light that didn't cost a fortune. This device from Omegon fitted the bill perfectly.Although made of some kind of plastic, it's build quality is quite sturdy and doesn't feel as though it'll fall apart the first time you drop it on the back lawn. It's also very light, so it adds virtually nothing to the telescopes weight. It fits nicely into a standard finder bracket and on my telescope it was easy to adjust so that it was aligned with the main OTA. The LED is variable brightness, but I've never needed anything other than the lowest setting on dark nights. The only time I've used anything brighter than the minimum setting is for centering brighter object such as planets at dusk, when it isn't quite dark anyway.All-in-all a cost effective Red Dot Finder that meets my needs perfectly, and at a decent price for a brand-name product. Highly recommended.

fonctionne très bien, remplace utilement l'appareil d'origine, adaptable sur téléscope Orion.

No pesa nada al ser de plástico y el puntero regulable. Cumple a la perfección con su función y se consigue localizar mejor el objeto de cielo profundo al no tener aumentos.

Erfüllt meine Erwartung
