The Orion EZ Finder II Telescope Reflex Sight makes it easy to aim your telescope accurately.

For a lot of us, aiming a telescope at the right spot in the sky can be challenging. Most standard finder scopes yields a magnified, upside-down image compared to the naked-eye view, which can be confusing if not downright frustrating to use when trying to accurately point a telescope at an object of interest. 

Take confusion and frustration out of the aiming equation with the Orion EZ Finder II Reflex Sight. It's a non-magnifying sighting device that superimposes a tiny, LED-powered red dot, focused at infinity, on the sky. After a simple initial alignment procedure, the red dot, which is centered in a wide window with a 10° field of view, shows exactly where your telescope is pointed. Just place the red dot on the area you want to investigate with the attached telescope, and you’re done!
The brightness of the red dot is adjustable to suit your preference. Thumbwheels allow fine positioning of the dot horizontally and vertically for precise alignment with the main telescope.

You can install the EZ Finder II on virtually any telescope, be it a refractor, reflector, or Cassegrain. The Orion EZ Finder II comes equipped with a dovetail bracket that fits the quick-release dovetail mounting base on many Orion telescopes. The bracket provides enough height for extra clearance from the optical tube for easier viewing access. For installation on other telescopes, a dovetail base can be purchased separately.

Try an Orion EZ Finder II Reflex Sight in place of, or alongside, your telescope's standard finder scope! You'll be amazed at what a difference it makes.

EZ Finder II reflex sights runs on a 3-volt lithium battery (CR-2032, included). Weighs 2.8 oz. including bracket; 4-3/4" long.

Simple straight-forward design. Simple straight-forward use. The best finder available. The only drawback is remembering to turn it off after use. Now if only I can remember to do that, then I'd be 100% happy with it. Is it possible to add an after-market timer chip to it, to turn it off?

This finder came with my 8" Dob as a stock accessory. As with any of Orion's finder scopes it drops right into the dovetail base perfectly. Tighten the thumb screw and you're done. However, when it comes to aligning the EZ Finder II, you may find it a bit more difficult. I was able to adjust the scope horizontally to be dead on, but was unable to get the vertical adjusted enough to be dead on. There was not enough travel in the vertical adjustment. I will have to shim the rear of the scope bracket in the dove tail to get the needed travel. That would have to be done every time I removed the scope for remote star gazing or to put another finder scope on the telescope. Other than this minor inconvenience, the operation is good. It has a simple optically projected red dot with no magnification. Just place the dot on the object and start gazing through your telescope. Battery life is good and the dot is adjustable for brightness. The dimmest setting is all you really ever need.
Favorite viewing location:??Rear deck
Favorite object to observe:??Lately the Moon
Pros: price and easy to use
Cons: vertical adjustment needs work
Yes, I recommend this product!

I have this sight and when I tried to use the dials to move the dot, it moved close but not right on, even with the dials maxed out. I have to point the red dot a few degrees up and to the right to get it to be in the middle of my scope. Seems like a waste, if I can't pinpoint it.
Favorite object to observe:??M42
Cons: not pinpoint
No, I do not recommend this product.

Good laser dot finder. Easy to use and install. LED sight is not perfect. Needs to be more focused with smaller dot.
Yes, I recommend this product!
