Buckeyestargazer Shop Sun Finder

The Buckeyestargazer Shop Sun Finder provides a convenient and safe way to locate the Sun in your properly filtered telescope. With the Sun Finder, you look away from the Sun (Never look directly at the Sun) as you point the finder toward the Sun. The Sun Finder uses pin-hole projection to show a small image of the Sun on the back of the finder, and a crosshair makes it easy to center the Sun on the target.

Buckeyestargazer Shop Sun FinderThe Buckeyestargazer Shop Sun Finder can be mounted on most telescopes using an included attachment which can be chosen at time of order. For example, the finder can be mounted in a Synta style finder shoe or on a Losmandy dovetail bar.
