The Alstar StarPointer Finderscope is the way to go if you want the easiest way possible to locate an object and center it in your eyepiece.
Lightweight and Portable
It weighs only 70g. Attaches to just about any telescope thanks to the small footprint, even works with astronomical binoculars and spotting scopes.
Red Dot-Dimmable
An adjustment small red LED dot is projected onto a non-magnifying viewing window. Brightness of the red dot is adjustable to suit your preference.
Multiple Uses
It can be used for astronomical telescopes and SLR cameras. Some connections require special bases.
Precise Alignment
The finder can be adjusted in four directions so that the red dot is exactly on the object you are looking at. (left/right up/down.)
Whether it's the Moon, a planet or a distant galaxy, locating objects in the night sky is sometimes not so easy-especially for beginners. Alstar finder makes this significantly easier.
The EZ Finder is a simple, but efficient point-where-you-want-to-go device for finding celestial objects. With the EZ finder, locating objects is a breeze. In optical finders, everything is usually upside down and you have to think carefully how to find the objects.

This unit is similar in form and function to one by celestron. The "dot" is crisp and can be dimmed super low, which helps with preserving night vision.

Entirely as expected, but no power cell included (takes a CR2032). Quickly delivered on schedule. Much less expensive than many similar units.

After breaking the scope off my telescope, I need something cheap and quick and this was perfect.

These finders are pretty much exactly the same across brands, Celestron makes one, Orion makes one, Astromania has one as well. I have purchased several over the past year. My experience is that there is a lot of sample-to-sample variation. They are fairly cheap, so you might not always get a good one. I've got a few lemons; they can't be properly aligned with your scope because the laser is mounted a bit crooked. This time however, I got a good one. It aligned quickly and accurately with my scope. If you get one and it doesn't align well, they are cheap enough that you should just order another and try your luck. I wouldn't spend the extra money to buy a name brand Orion or Celestron as they suffer from the same issues. When they work, they work great, when they don't, try again.

Works fine! I have it mounted on my 10 inch dob and I like it better than the finder scope. No instructions included so if you are new to it you might need to Google some.

I use this on my 8" Dobsonian telescope with great results. I did not have issues with the control knob as others have reported. It clicks on/off and stays put at all brightness levels. Highly recommended upgrade to the traditional finder scope that most telescopes come with.

Got this to mount to my cell phone holder for taking pictures at night. Had to buy a cold shoe adapter but I knew that from the start. Was easy to adjust both phone and scope to a distant object during the day and then use it without issue in the dark. Very happy with this setup.

I bought it to take out the curved glass and use it in a project.The glass quality is good and there is negligible distortion.Had I been mounting it on a telescope as a viewfinder, however, I would not have liked it. It rattled and did not hold zero.
