Thanks to the large aperture of 50 mm, the Vixen 7x50 finder scope immediately reveals many objects that are not visible in smaller viewfinders. This makes it easy to adjust the telescope to the target object. The red illumination of the finder scope can be dimmed to different levels.The eyepiece is detachable (31.7 mm diameter) so that a CMOS camera with 31.7 mm diameter (available separately) can be attached and used as an autoguider. The eyepiece unit with crosshairs is also removable in order to use 31.7 mm diameter eyepieces (sold separately) with different focal lengths. This allows the finder scope to be operated with various magnifications.The lens is designed to be compatible with CMOS cameras. The distance between the bottom of the 31.7 mm sleeve on the camera side and the sensor surface should be approximately 17 mm. However, the focus position may vary depending on the camera, so you should adjust the guiding camera for focus before use. The focus of the optics is adjusted by rotating the lens. First, the black lock ring on the main optics must be loosened. Then, the focus can be adjusted by turning the lens mount. Please also read the operating instructions for the viewfinder and the CMOS camera used.If the focus of the viewfinder has been adjusted, the focus position must be readjusted when using the eyepiece unit.FEATURESMagnification: 7xAperture: 50 mmLenses: coatedCrosshairs: illuminated in red, dimmableDimensions: 220 mm × Ø 58 mmWeight: 467 gSCOPE OF DELIVERY7x50 viewfinderEyepiece unit with illuminationCR2032 batteryInstruction manual
