- Right-angle 6x30 finder makes it easier to hunt faint objects without back and neck strain
- 30 mm aperture lets you star hop using fainter stars and see many deep-sky objects directly
- Correct-image orientation shows a view of the sky that matches most star charts
- Generous 7 degree field of view makes it easy to pick out fainter guidepost stars
- Includes bracket and Synta-style dovetail base
Most telescopes come with a straight-through finder telescope. But many astronomers prefer the use of right-angle finders that offer many more advantages. "Correct Image" finders present a view that matches the orientation of the sky or the orientation of the stars in star charts. And, perhaps most importantly, your back and neck will thank you for using a "Right-Angle" finder and no longer subjecting them to various contortions at the telescope.
So if you are looking to upgrade the stock finder on small to mid-aperture telescopes, GSO's high quality 6x30 right angle finder may be just what you need. It features a multi-coated 30mm achromatic objective, an Amici prism that provides a non-inverted, non-reversed correct-image, and single eyepiece cross-hairs that allow for precise centering of faint objects. The field of view is a generous 7 degrees.
The finder comes with a bracket and a Synta/Vixen style finder dovetail base. The bracket has 2 thumbscrews (may be metal or plastic - GSO keeps changing these) and one spring-loaded screw for quick and easy alignment of the finder with your telescope. The diagonal and eyepiece are not removable, changeable or rotatable. The finder comes with two protective end caps for the objective and the eyepiece.
This 30mm right angle GSO finder telescope is offered in a black and white trim as pictured. The finder is easily focusable from the objective end by turning the objective assembly and locking focus using the focus lock ring just behind the dewshield.
Specifications
- Total Finder Weight = 10.2 oz (OTA = 5.4 oz, Bracket = 3.3 oz, Dovetail Base = 1.5 oz)

Finder Base Details
The included finder base can accommodate screws up to 5mm in diameter (mounting screws not included). Center-to-center screw hole spacing on your telescope must be between 20mm (0.79") minimum and 37mm (1.46") maximum in order for this dovetail base to be compatible. Fits tubes 5" and larger in tube diameter (not telescope aperture), as well as flat surfaces.
We cannot comment on compatibility of the included finder bracket base with your specific telescope. Please use the dimensions provided above or in the last product photo above to make this determination yourself. We sell a wide variety of other Synta-style finder bases that will also work with this finder's bracket.
If you intend to use the included finder bracket with your own dovetail base/shoe or with one already molded into your focuser housing, here are the "foot" dimensions of the bracket so that you can check compatibility with your "shoe."
