red dwalf Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) i have for sale a clone William Optics red dot finder, it has 7 brightness levels and 3 different finder patterns, it is of metal construction although the base connector is plastic, all is in excellent working order and is much better than any standard cheap red dot finders although rubber lens cover is tawn alittle but makes no differance to the finder itself. looking for £27 to guys and gals on this forum, either collected from Sandiacre or i can bring it with me to the quarterly Belper meet on the 7th of December.

Allan the Plumber Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Hi Rob would this give me a better point when lining up scope or would a finder scope be better if so may be interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red dwalf Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 hi Allan, i find it better than the cheap red dot finder it replaced, easy to adjust the brightness and there are 3 different red illuminated crosshairs instead of one single red dot. i`m selling it as i`ve now got the altair astro finder scope, which even second hand costs me over 5x the price of the one i`m selling.

Perkil8r Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I have a Telrad which works on much the same principle as this. I find it much easier to use than a finder for getting to the correct part of the sky, once in the right area I tend to use the finder to centre the scope further still if that makes sense. Something like this can make things a lot easier IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brantuk Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 This is a great RDF if anyone wants to know - I have the WO one and the clones don't seem to be much different. A very flexible bit of kit being multi functional and a joy to use - especially if you are replacing the supplied "supplied" rdf's with it.
