Baader Planetarium Sky Surfer V Red Dot Finder with Finder Bracket

Baader 40mm SkySurfer V Red Dot Finder

This is a large aperture, premium quality, lightweight aluminum red dot finder, with bases to fit almost any telescope.

Supplied with Dew Caps/Lens Shades and captive protective end caps. The Sky Surfer V is constructed mostly of metal. This red dot finder is definitely built to last! The Sky Surfer V is based on a robust model from the military, which is offered in field sports stores at twice the price – but with much poorer performance (from an astronomical point of view!). Baader have "demilitarized“ it and optimized it for astronomy. The main improvements are;

• The typical, red shimmering coating has been replaced by an astronomical coating, allowing even faint stars to be seen.

• All glass surfaces are coated to increase the transmission of light.

• You can attach 40mm long dew caps at both sides to prevent fogging of the glass surfaces.

• The red dot sight can be adjusted to a very low brightness. This way it does not dazzle at night.

• All optical surfaces are made of high quality glass. The red-dot-finder is sealed watertight by O-rings.

• The dust caps can also be used as a Solar FInder (WITH CAUTION - Please read the instructions fully first!)

This is an excellent allround finder that comes highly recommended.
