## Overview

The Celestron 51630 StarPointer Finderscope is a 1x magnification red dot finder that simplifies locating celestial and terrestrial objects.

Ready to use out of the box with included mounting base and battery, it enhances your stargazing experience by providing quick, accurate alignment and preserving night vision.

## Description

Product Description The Celestron Star Pointer Finderscope is the way to go if you want the easiest way possible to locate an object and centre it in your eyepiece. A red dot finder, unlike an optical finder, has 1x magnification, displays a super wide field of view, and keeps the sky right side up and left-to-right correct, matching what you see with your unaided eyes. An LED creates a red dot, superimposed on a viewing screen, so you simply point the Star Pointer to the area or object you wish to observe, look through your eyepiece, and if properly aligned, the area in and around place you pointed the red dot will be centred in the field of view. If you like the idea of having some magnification, try installing both a red dot and optical finder on your telescope. Schmidt-Cassegrain and EdgeHD telescopes have multiple mounting bracket holes so you can get the best of both worlds. Just make sure to align both of them correctly, and you’ll get the best use out of each of your finders. How to Align the Star Pointer Finderscope The first time you use your finder, you need to align it. This one-time setup procedure should be done during the day. Take the telescope outside and find an easily recognisable object, such as a streetlight, car license plate, or tall tree. The object should be as far away as possible, but at least a quarter mile away. Move the telescope left and right or up and down so that it is roughly pointing at the object. Look through the telescope using your low power eyepiece and move the telescope until the object you chose lies in the centre of the view. Once the object is centred in your eyepiece, turn on the red dot. With your head positioned about a foot behind the finder, look through the round lens of the finder and locate the red dot. Without moving the telescope, use the two adjustment knobs located on the side and underneath the finder. One controls the left-right motion of the dot. The other controls the up-down motion of the dot. Adjust both of these until the red dot appears over the same object you are observing in the eyepiece. Your finder is now aligned and should not require realignment unless it is bumped or dropped. You can even take the finder off the telescope and reattach it while preserving alignment. Manufacturer's Description A 1x, or unit power finderscope designed so you can point the telescope while scanning the sky with both eyes. Finding objects couldn’t be easier! A mirror lens projects the image of a LED illuminated pinpoint into the line of sight, providing you with a red dot of light to center on the object you want to view. Something like having a laser pointer that reaches into the sky, it greatly simplifies finding objects. The brightness level is adjustable, and the Star Pointer can be used during daytime observing as well. It’s also a handy guide when using binoculars. Attaches to any telescope easily. Extra bases are available (#51631) to make it easy to move the Star Pointer for use on different telescopes

Review: Great value and does the job - My Telrad gave up the ghost and at nearly £60 to replace I thought I'd give this a go. Very very impressed for the money. Not quite as user friendly as the Telrad as no concentric circles only a red dot, but for the price, it does the job. Very good value for money.
Review: Accurate & easy to use - This is the best Star Pointer I've used, bigger, brighter & much easier to lock onto a celestial target. So good I've got them on 2 of my scopes. An ideal compliment to the traditional Finderscopes which I use in conjunction on a 3 way adapter mount.

## Features

- RIGHT-SIDE-UP VIEWS: Unlike some finderscopes, the StarPointer keeps the sky right-side up, matching what you see with your unaided eyes for easy and intuitive use

- COMPATIBLE WITH TELESCOPES AND MORE: StarPointer attaches to just about any telescope thanks to its small footprint; It even works great with astronomical binoculars and spotting scopes
- START OBSERVING RIGHT AWAY: Includes the mounting base and a long-lasting CR2032 3V battery

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it fit celestron starbright xlt**
A: fitted one to a cpc 925

**Q: Does it fit a Celestron firstscope 76?**
A: I’m not sure, but it comes with a couple of base plates, with multiple holes in them. if your scope has an empty threaded hole somewhere on the case I think you will be able to screw this onto it. It is pretty generic. I was really pleased with mine, works a great, especially for the price. Here’s a video of mine screwed to my Altair Astro Lightwave.

**Q: Does this fit a celestron powerseeker 80azs?**
A: This should fit okay using your existing finderscope mounting bracket. These also come with a number of different adaptors so should work.

**Q: No Celestron markings and all plastic body. Is this genuine**
A: Don’t know but it works very well

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lightweight and really easy to use
*by P***S on 7 January 2023*

Bought as a replacement for my optical finderscope when I need to reduce the overall payload on my travel mount. It is well made and very easy to set up and use. From my experience, the main thing to bear in mind is that it does not magnify and this makes it difficult to locate fainter objects under light polluted skies. I find that it is very useful for alignment on bright stars when setting up my goto mount.
