Hey guys,
I'm tired of using my straight thru finder on my 10" lx200 and want to replace it with a right angle finder. Any suggestions for a good RA finder that will fit in the existing finder bracket?
Thanks
Allister

I bought the Orion 9x50 correct image finder and love it. It gives a clean image nearly to the edge and everything is cirrectly oriented so your stars charts match the image. It has a two screw adjustment that works at right angles to each other so aligning the finder is a snap. The catalog lists it at $79 ,but I got it online for $59. For $9 more you can get a dovetail that fits the tube of your lx200.

Hey Bob,
Thanks for the recommendation. Since I restrict all my purchases to those vendors who support this site, I can't buy the Orion.
Anyone else have experience with an RA finder purchased from one of our sponsors?

Wow, that's almost a must-have for a refractor.

Hey Grizz,
Thanks for the link. I think I'll order one up today. Can't figure out how I've gone so many years without one??
