A new take on Telrad's iconic finder, this version of the Reflex Sight is offered with a bronze tint to the viewing window glass to provide a different contrast under certain conditions. It is outfitted with a generous 2.5 x 1.4" viewing window that provides a wide unmagnified true view of the sky, unlike conventional finder scopes that offer limited fields of view presented upside down and backwards. Three concentric rings—spaced at 4, 2, and 0.5°—provide an easy point of reference for locating objects and quick navigation when manually star-hopping. An easy-to-use, infinitely adjustable rheostat enables precise brightness control so users won't hurt their night-adjusted vision. A mounting base is included, and the sight easily detaches from it for storage or to move it to another OTA with a separate mounting base already attached without requiring it to be recentered with the OTA.
