I wanted something better than the red dot finder that was included with my Celestron NexStar 8SE scope, and took a chance on this one. I'm very happy with it, and it is far better to use than the red dot because it has some decent magnification. I really like being able to line my stars up in the crosshairs. That gives me much better accuracy in aiming.A bit of advice: It comes with a rubber or neoprene O-ring. After you've mounted it, make sure you slide the O-ring back inside the mounting bracket. This provides important tension in the front area to keep the scope from wiggling around. There weren't any instructions about doing this, but it seemed obvious to me after a few moments. I just pushed it into the mount with my fingers without the need for any tools.The red ring is a jam or locknut to screw up against the back of the front lens barrel to keep it in place after you've focused it. Again, just finger tight and you're done. No problems. Elegantly simple.I really like the looks of this scope as well. It stands off the top of the main scope a couple of inches, and makes it easier to look into it from the rear. No need to put your cheek against the telescope barrel.The image is upside down, of course, because this is basically a small refractor scope. The image in my Celestron is right-side up, but I found no problem with this. The optics are quite good for this low price, and frankly, I wouldn't want any more magnification than I'm already getting. It's easy to spot the place in the sky you want to aim your main scope, and that's just what is needed.As I said, I could not be happier with this finder. It's a great balance of price and function. I would buy it again for any other scope I might buy in the future. If you own one of the Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain scopes, and are still using the supplied red dot finder, you need to get this little baby. Like me, you'll be very pleased with the upgrade!This is my fourth purchase of Svbony astro products, including a 2" 70 degree 25mm lens that I just love, and their SV205 telescope camera. I'm very impressed with their quality, and it's hard to beat their prices.

Reveiw from a new amature astronomerPros-cheep and reliable, looks cool. Once you zero it it stays so long as ya dont blugeon your telescope. Has a standard foot thingy to put on your telescope so thats nice. The 6x magnifacation is perfect for finding things and it has ok field of view. i also realy like the covers so that dust dont get in their. I like to use this thrigh one eye + my perifrial vision to look for stuff, its quite effective!To line it up with yer telescope just find somethin far away, point yer telescope at it so that the object is in the center of the view in yer eyepiece and use the screws on the finder scope holder thing to line the crosshair with thr object.cons- focusing it is a bit strange, ya gotta unscrew the red thingy to focus it. Also when ya move your head around the crosshair moves around but its ok once ya get used to it, ya need it t just find the star/space thingy and get its general location anyways so it ok.overall a cool beans finder scope!

Recommended - I got this 6x30mm finder with the Svbony SV550 80mm triplet APO.It's a nice match to the Sv550 APO , should be a nice match with any other Svbony telescope.Locks into the finder dovetail/shoe with a thumbscrew, once secured you're ready to go.After focus & alignment it performed well. The bracket/holder is gloss white with non-marring nylon adjuster screws opposing a spring-loaded chrome pin. I like the black finish/red anodized focus lock ring.Build quality is as good or better as any other I've used. Svbony products are new to me, but from what I've seen so far their build quality is top notch. I wouldn't hesitate to buy their products again.

this item is quickly adjustable and has a good view, I swap this between multiple scopes and the easy alignment makes it perfect for each scope.

I rarely write a negative review. The SVBONY 182 scope I received however may have just been a defective copy. I mounted it on an Orion short tune 80mm refractor. It fits very nicely into the wedge mount and looks great. But, it will not focus on stars or the moon. The moon is a blur and stars are fuzzy blobs regardless of how far out or in I turned the back eyepiece. I have other finder scopes ranging from totally junk 5x24 scopes to professional grade 50 and 80mm optical tubes. All are fine. It is not my vision. I am a private pilot, and I know for a fact that my vision is fine.This thing just won't focus. I like SVBONY, and am returning it to exchange it for another SVBONY finder scope. Yes I recommend this scope, but definitely check it out when you first get it to make sure you did not receive a defective lemon copy. Clear Skies and Happy Viewing !

Overall, this is a good scope for the money - when it works as designed. I actually bought two, and one of them works fine. On the second one, the threads are cut too loose and the screw does not catch. Since the screw that holds the scope in place does not work, I cannot set the scope. Unfortunately, I did not try to install this scope until a few months after I bought it. By then, it was past Amazon's return policy, and now I'm stuck with a scope that doesn't do what it's supposed to do.

Il est efficace pour viser les astres avec un grossissement, une onne visibilité et des vis de réglage permettant de l ajuster avec l objectif de ma lunette svbony 48p. Très content de mon achat qui va me permettre d étalonner ma monture goto

Es imprescindible, más preciso que un buscador de punto rojo. Su retÃcula ayuda mucho y el proceso de instalación y colimación es muy sencilla. Tiene una estabilidad aceptable.Se echa de menos un manual de instrucciones. Para personas con conocimientos, es sencillo y hasta intuitivo, pero para personas que a penas se inician, no caerÃa mal incluir material impreso o digital de instrucciones.
