Its true-to-eye orientation and tool-free adjustment knobs make it compatible with nearly any telescope or spotting scope, providing an intuitive and fast way to locate objects in the night sky. Powered by a long-lasting CR2032 battery and including a mounting base, it’s designed for immediate use and enhanced stargazing accuracy. ## Description The Celestron Star Pointer Finderscope is the way to go if you want the easiest way possible to locate an object and center it in your eyepiece. A red dot finder, unlike an optical finder, has 1x magnification, displays a super wide field of view, and keeps the sky right side up and left-to-right correct, matching what you see with your unaided eyes. An LED creates a red dot, superimposed on a viewing screen, so you simply point the Star Pointer to the area or object you wish to observe, look through your eyepiece, and if properly aligned, the area in and around place you pointed the red dot will be centered in the field of view. If you like the idea of having some magnification, try installing both a red dot and optical finder on your telescope. Schmidt-Cassegrain and EdgeHD telescopes have multiple mounting bracket holes so you can get the best of both worlds. Just make sure to align both of them correctly, and you’ll get the best use out of each of your finders Review: This projects a red dot on to the sky on or near the object in view. The brightness can be adjusted using an on/off dial. The altitude and azimuth are also adjustable using knobs. This is far better than earlier versions I have used by other manufacturers that had screws for adjustments. Fumbling with a screwdriver and screws in the dark is not much fun, especially while holding the telescope steady in the meantime. The red dot projected is quite bright even at the low setting. The piece I received had some loose screws which made the whole unit wobble, but once tightened, the adjustment knobs worked reasonably well. I was however, not able to position the dot exactly on the object. It probably requires more practice. Overall, a great product!

This works well and took 5 minutes to set - doesn't move from its position. Using it on powerseeker 127. Comes with 4 types of mounts for celestron telescopes which is a plus. ## Frequently Bought Together - Celestron 51630 Star Pointer Telescope Finderscope, Black - ELEPHANTBOAT®Metal Telescope Spotting Scope Camera Mobile Phone Mount Holder Bracket Clip --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co/products/546191704-celestron-51630-star-pointer-telescope-finderscope-black](https://www.desertcart.co/products/546191704-celestron-51630-star-pointer-telescope-finderscope-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Colombia* *Store origin: CO* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
