Thanks to the
large aperture of 50 mm, the Vixen
7x50 finder scope immediately reveals many objects that are not visible in smaller viewfinders. This makes it easy to adjust the telescope to the target object. The
red illumination of the finder scope can be dimmed to
different levels.
The
eyepiece is detachable (31.7 mm diameter) so that a
CMOS camera with 31.7 mm diameter (available separately) can be attached and
used as an autoguider. The eyepiece unit with crosshairs is also removable in order to use
31.7 mm diameter eyepieces (sold separately) with different focal lengths. This allows the finder scope to be operated with
various magnifications.
The lens is designed to be
compatible with CMOS cameras. The distance between the bottom of the 31.7 mm sleeve on the camera side and the sensor surface should be approximately 17 mm. However, the focus position may vary depending on the camera, so you should adjust the
guiding camera for focus before use.
The
focus of the optics is adjusted by rotating the lens. First, the black lock ring on the main optics must be loosened. Then, the focus can be adjusted by turning the lens mount. Please also read the operating instructions for the viewfinder and the CMOS camera used.
If the focus of the viewfinder has been adjusted, the focus position must be readjusted when using the eyepiece unit.
