The crosshairs in standard finder scopes are difficult to see in the dark, which makes centering an object something of a guessing game. Well, we saw the light, and we now offer this finder scope with illuminated crosshairs, the Orion 9x50 Illuminated Finder Scope (no bracket). An adjustable-intensity red LED in the illuminator arm lights an etched-glass double crosshair reticle, making it as easy as target practice to center your viewing or photo subject or guide star. Centering an object precisely on the finder scope's crosshairs will ensure that it appears in your main scope's eyepiece or on your camera's charge coupled device (CCD) chip, exactly where you want it.

I'm very satisfied with this finder. The illuminated reticle is a major improvement over the original Meade finder. The optics are better than those of the Meade. Parallax and stability of alignment are better than those of a competing finder that cost nearly 3 times the price of the Orion.

I received the finder in good time and in good shape. Focusing star images was easily done by adjusting the front lens. However, the cross hairs remain out of focus and this seems to shift with rotation of the finder... like they are free floating. The illumination is quite good and if you can ignore the fuzzy lines produced by the cross hairs, it does it's job adequately.

The illuminated reticle is badly out-of- focus, and there's no way to adjust it.

The reticle is out-of-focus with or without my glasses. I'm disappointed.
