Finder Scope Rings & Mounting Brackets
Finder scope rings and brackets hold your finder securely in place and allow fine adjustment so it can be aligned precisely with your main telescope. Accurate alignment means the object centered in your finder will also appear in your telescope eyepiece, which makes locating targets faster and more enjoyable.
This collection includes Explore Scientific 50mm finder scope rings in standard and tall heights, rings sized for right-angle finders, and finder bases with mounting screws for secure attachment to your telescope tube. Taller rings provide extra clearance over large focusers and dew shields. Whether you are adding a finder to a new telescope or replacing worn hardware, quality rings and brackets keep your finder stable and aligned night after night.
To align a finder, center a distant object in your telescope's main eyepiece during the day, then adjust the finder's ring screws until the same object sits on the finder's crosshairs. Once aligned, quality rings hold that setting through transport and temperature changes. Explore Scientific finder brackets and bases are designed to fit our finder scopes and many other popular finders, making them a reliable choice for refractors, reflectors and Dobsonian telescopes.
