Description

Point it out!
Celestron's Star Pointer Finderscope is a 1X, or "unit-power," finderscope designed to let you point your telescope while you're scanning the sky with both eyes. Finding objects couldn't be easier! A mirror lens projects an LED-illuminated pinpoint into the line of sight, providing a red dot to center on an object you want to view. Easily attaching to any telescope, it greatly simplifies finding celestial objects by acting like a laser pointer pointed into the sky. Brightness is adjustable, and the Star Pointer can be used for daytime observing as well as night. It also comes in handy when you're using binoculars.


CHOKING HAZARD - small parts may pose a risk to children under 6 yrs.

    I have a 5" scope and this unit is designed for 8" scopes or higher. I didn't like the tape option so I drilled a small hole in the tube to mount the scope with screws.(should only be done if you are handy with tools)but once mounted it is so easy to find your target I cann't see myself using a regular finderscope ever again.

    Good Product

    This should be the OEM finder on the scope from the manufacturer. Easy to mount, align and use.

    Comments about Celestron Star Pointer Finderscope:

    Celestron's products are always suprisingly well made for the cost. This little starfinder scope really has opened up some new Astronomy opportunities for me. Thanks Celestron.
    Hayneedle however - promised and did not deliver. I ordered the product in the beginning weeks of Dec'11 and did not receive it until late Jan'12. Promised 3 different delivery days and none were met.
    Hayneedle has done nothing to make the issue right, other than to have someone from shipping issue me an e-mail apology for the delay, blaming the manufacturer of course.

                Comments about Celestron Star Pointer Finderscope:

                I must admit that I was somewhat disappointed with my Celestron Astromaster 114EQ when I first got it. The finder scope just did not work. I purchased this unit and stuck it on the scope with double faced adhesive foam and haven't looked back. I was out back looking at the moon the other night and saw Jupiter come up and put the red dot on Jupiter and I was there. It's great

                Customer Q & A
                1 - 5 of 9
                    1   2      

                Q1: Does this finderscope set include the mounting bracket and nuts for the Celestron Nexstar 114GT and 130GT models?

                A: Yes, it is all included to connect very easily to the 114GT or 130GT models.

                Q2: I have two questions. I am wondering which side of the finder scope to look through? Is it the side where I can see ther laser dot. Or the other side? Second which part of the finder scope goes closest to the front of the Telescope. The manual was not very clear of that part. Thanks, Anthony

                A: The part that the dot shines on (The side with the lens) will face the front of the telescope. you will look through it so that you can see the dot on the lens of the finder scope.

                Q3: What is the field of view for the Celestron red dot finderscope #51630?

                A: The red dot has no magnification you just align the dot with the object you wish to view. The field of view is the same as the naked eye.

                Q4: Will this fit with zhumell eclipse 114.

                A: Yes, the Star Pointer should work. If the telescope's dovetail plate doesn't match, it can be removed.

                Q5: What kind of battery does the Star Pointer use?

                A: The Star Pointer Finderscope uses a 3-volt lithium (CR2332) battery.
