LUMICON 80mm Super finder system (Pre-owned)
| Availability: | In stock |
A brilliant, oversized hybrid finderscope/wide field astrophotography scope, the Lumicon 80mm Deluxe Super Finder System Finderscope is a supremely bright 300mm f/3.7 equipped with a helicoid 1.25" focuser with 1" of path travel.
This achromatic refractor shows lots of the stars one would want to see in their bigger scope, and can also be used as a spiffy spotting scope by adding the optional Image Visor, a 1.25" 90° or 45° erect image diagonal, and a moderate-length eyepiece. The 80mm Deluxe Super Finder has a fully multicoated objective lens to grab gobs of rich light and internal baffling to keep that light well controlled from glare.
The body of the scope itself, despite its huge aperture for a finderscope, weighs only 2.2 pounds (1kg). This is a complete package-with 90° erect image diagonal, 25mm eyepiece with crosshair reticle, and a soft case. Used with a T-mount adapter and an SLR camera, this finderscope makes for a surprisingly effective digiscoping tool.
