It is a simple thing to remove or install your finder and bracket on your telescope in this manner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo install your finder into the bracket, simply back the thumbscrews out so that you’ve opened up the full inside diameter of the rings. Slide the finder into place, and adjust the screws inward until your finderscope is securely held in position. You should have very rough alignment at this point, which means when you look through the finder and center an object, and then look through a low power eyepiece inserted in your telescope diagonal or focuser, that object will most likely be in the field of view, but not at or near the center (unless you are very lucky!). Doing that first fine alignment…the task of matching what’s in your finder to what’s in your eyepiece…can be tedious and frustrating sometimes, but once you complete the job, it should never be required again. Sure, you will have to tweak the adjustment every time you re-install the finder\/bracket combo onto your telescope, but it should be fairly quick and simple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere is a helpful hint when it comes time to do that first alignment. Set your telescope up in the daytime, and make sure you bring out a variety of eyepieces with you. Find an easy target that is relatively far away, like a streetlight or the top of a telephone pole. Starting with the lowest power eyepiece, adjust your finder bracket until you have “matching” views. The more accurate you are, the easier it will be when you trade out your low-power eyepiece for something a little stronger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow do just that; put in a medium-powered eyepiece and do the same thing, being as accurate as you can. Finally, it’s time for the high-powered eyepiece. Once you have finished this alignment process, you can either wait for the sun to go down to finish tweaking your finder, or you can put your telescope away and wait until the next time. Either way, once it is dark, find something bright, like the Moon or Venus or Jupiter, and center it in your finder. Now install the medium-powered eyepiece and check your view. If the object is not centered, make your adjustments, then insert the high-powered eyepiece and check again. Once you have made the necessary tweaks, you are good to go. From now on, unless you remove the finder from the bracket or something else happens to severely change alignment, you should only have to make small tweaks before every observing session. I know it sounds like a lot of trouble to go through for such a “small” thing, but trust me, I have seen more beginners make the mistake of trying to do finder alignments in the dark on small, dim objects, and it is not a pretty sight! All they want to do is observe, and they feel like they are wasting precious time doing silly things. A well-aligned finder makes astronomy much easier, give yourself a break and do the hard part during the day, and you won’t be sorry!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--end tab--\u003e\u003c!--start tab--\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spanrow\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"speccell speccell-left\"\u003eItem Number\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"speccell\"\u003eFNDRRGSTALL\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spanrow\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"speccell speccell-left\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"speccell\"\u003e7oz; 198.4g\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spanrow\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"speccell speccell-left\"\u003eLength\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"speccell\"\u003e73mm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spanrow\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"speccell speccell-left\"\u003eWidth\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"speccell\"\u003e61mm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spanrow\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"speccell speccell-left\"\u003eHeight\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"speccell\"\u003e115mm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!--end tab--\u003e","brand":"Explore Scientific","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":606475377,"sku":"FNDRRGSTALL","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0390\/6029\/products\/finderscope_50mm.jpg?v=1571439046"},{"product_id":"finder-scope-base-with-mounting-screws","title":"Finder Scope Base with Mounting Screws","description":"\u003c!--start tab--\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Finder Scope Base is specifically designed to allow you to secure one of Explore Scientific’s high-quality finder scopes to the telescope of your choice.

This reliable rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery has a capacity of 8300 mAh with an output of 12v that connects to a supplied power cord with spring-loaded power plugs with 5.5mm x 2.5mm to 5.5mm x 2.1mm connectors. The 5v output from the USB port can power your devices with a standard user-supplied USB cable. The Explore Scientific USB Power Bank with Red LED Flashlight has an operating range of a teeth chattering -4 degrees to a blazing 140 degrees Fahrenheit!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe soft deep red glow from the LEDs lets you see under dark starlit skies without ruining your night vision as you make adjustments to your equipment, read star charts, locate that small telescope part you dropped in the grass, or find that steamy hot cup of coffee before you knock it over and spill it in your lap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlightly smaller than a building brick and weighing only 1.4 pounds, the rugged rubber covering protects the battery from minor impacts and seals the red LED flashlight on\/off switch from dirt and moisture. The five level indicator shows power availability. The unit is turned on or off with a toggle switch. A convenient 2-point attachment point allows you to hang the battery near your equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAside from use on the star party field, the Explore Scientific USB Power Bank with Red LED Flashlight could be the best portable Lithium-Ion battery pack for off-grid camping.

Our field tests with the iEXOS 100 and EXOS 2, with a draw of 0.5 amps (0.6 amps when slewing) is about 8 hours of running time. For the Explore Scientific\/ Losmandy G11 which draws about 50 percent more, we expect that it will have a running time of about  5 hours. Your time would be reduced if you are using the USB port to charge a phone or other device, or if you are using the flashlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypical full charge time is 5 to 6 hours from a full discharge.

This effectively suppresses sodium vapor lamps from street lighting and greenhouses (assimilation light). This is a clear advantage because the yellow light for the digital camera is always registered as a mixture of red and green. Especially with aurora photography or recordings of emission nebulae, later removal of the light pollution by post-processing the photos would be virtually impossible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA reduction in yellow tones also ensures a better differentiation between red and green tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the Explore Scientific Dark-Sky Filter, weaker aurora events from cities can also be detected photographically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEspecially in times of increasing light pollution, this filter does an extremely good job. In contrast to widely used interference filters (CLS, UHC), this filter can also be used without restriction in front of a wide-angle lens, which is not possible with interference filters.
