Description

It seems everyone offers some type of low-cost red dot finder these days. The relatively low cost and intuitive ease of locating objects make these finders the perfect companion to telescopes large and small. Baader Planetarium has taken this basic concept another step forward. Finding objects in dim star fields or light polluted skies is now easier than ever. The Sky Surfer III offers several advantages over the typical low-cost red dot finders. The extra-large 30mm optical aperture and improved optical quality delivers a much larger undistorted view and razor-sharp red dot. Unlike many red-dot finders the Sky Surfer III incorporates optimized anti-reflective lens coatings which deliver proper locator dot brightness with virtually no image dimming. One other new feature you will really come to appreciate is the extra-long lens housing which acts as a shield to effectively prevent dewing.Mounting and adjustment of the Sky Surfer is simple. Elevation and Azimuth adjustment is accomplished by turning the two knurled adjustment knobs. The red locator dot intensity is adjusted by a knurled adjusting knob. Attachment to your telescope is also straightforward with all necessary parts included. Simply attach a base to your telescope slip on the finder and tighten the two dovetail clamp screws. Three bases are included. The short base works best for large tubes. It includes two mounting slots (for screw mounting) and may also be attached with double sided foam tape (not supplied). The taller base fits smaller diameter tubes (as well as large tubes using the included spacer plate) and the slotted holes accommodate the factory hole pattern of popular SCTs. The third base fits the Vixen finder dovetail standard used on many import refractors. Each Sky Surfer includes a replaceable 3V lithium battery for extra long life."Just to let you know the order arrived on Saturday.

Product review & video

hey there this is Dave with OSI astronomy and I wanted to show you a little something that I really enjoy I just got it in the mail today i I've had this spotting scope for a while and it is excellent it's so easy to take it out there it's a it's got ET glass on it it's it's beautiful it has a/c it's the Endeavour HD 82 got a nice rubber I cup here it has really generous eye relief and a zoom lens and one of these can be had fairly inexpensively three hundred fifty to five hundred dollars in that range and they make for great little alternative if you're wondering if you should get a telescope if you'd like to do other things besides just looking at stars you could get really considered this as an option but one of the pitfalls of using a spotting scope as a telescope has been a finder or lack of a finder and inter hashtag not sponsored the sky surf or three from batterer planetarium ar
