Vixen Optics XY Dot Finder | Compact Red Dot Sightdesigned their Vixen Optics XY Dot Finder | Compact Red Dot Sightas a faster alternative to conventional magnified finderscopes. This unmagnified optic puts a red dot in the center of the sighting window that, when properly aligned with your optical tube, allows you to simply cover your target object with it and have it centered in your OTA's eyepiece. This design allows you to see the entire night sky above you for faster scanning and movement versus conventional finderscopes that limit your field of view. With eleven settings, controlled by an easy to use rheostat dial, the dot intensity can be set at the most comfortable brightness so you can see the dot without affecting your night-adjusted vision. This dot finder comes with an aluminum mounting bracket that is compatible with all Vixen OTAs and one CR2032 battery.
