I have Telrads on my two larger scopes, but the Telrad would be rather cumbersome on something as compact as the FirstScope. After doing some online searching, I found the Celestron Star Pointer. Lightweight and reasonably priced, I ordered one, figuring for less than twenty bucks, it was worth a shot. The Star Pointer comes with an assortment of mounting bases, one of which fits the FirstScope well. The base attaches to the scope using the two preinstalled screw posts on the scope tube, and the Star Pointer slides onto a dovetail on the base. Two screws on the side of the Star Pointer tightens the dovetail mount to keep the Star Pointer secure while using. Adjusting the single red dot aiming point is easily accomplished via two small knobs on the Star Pointer, and intensity of the red dot is adjustable by the switch knob. Once adjusted, moving the scope until the object desired is under the red dot put the object in the field of view, even using the higher powered eyepiece This makes for much quicker aiming of the scope as opposed to "gunsighting" along the tube, reducing frustration factor during viewing sessions. Finders of this type are among the simplest to use, even for younger viewers, and a worthwhile investment. Unlike small scope finders, these do not magnify or invert the image, and it's very easy to go from spotting what you want with the naked eye, to centering it in the finder (when such objects are visible to the naked eye). The Star Pointer is just as easily removable from the base after an evening of viewing, allowing for safe storage and transport. All in all, a nice option for a good price. Review: Well made - This finder takes up some real estate on your scope. Love the target reticle as it doesn't obscure what you are looking for like a traditional red dot. Similar, but not the same as, my trusty Telrad. Its large size makes it too big for my SCT but works great on my refractor ## Features - Designed by astronomers for astronomers, this premium finderscope allows you to precisely zero in on your target - Projects a dual-circle reticle, not a red dot that can obscure your subject - Larger 40mm optical window offers a wider field of view so you can acquire targets quickly and easily - Brighter LED for easy visibility during the day - Easy dovetail connection; no tools required ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00Y09HGUO | | Additional Features | Dual-circle reticle, wide field of view, bright LED for daytime use | | Best Sellers Rank | #1 in Telescope Finder Scopes | | Brand | Celestron | | Built-In Media | Large Schmidt-Cassegrain bracket, Small Schmidt-Cassegrain bracket, Small telescope with dovetail mount, Small telescope with screw-hole mount, StarPointer Pro Finderscope | | Coating | Multi-Coated | | Compatible Devices | Telescopes, specifically Schmidt-Cassegrain and small telescope models | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (2,773) | | Eye Piece Lens Description | Kellner | | Finderscope | Reflex | | Focal Length Description | 40 millimeters | | Focus Type | Manual Focus | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00050234516358 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 8"D x 6"W x 3"H | | Item Weight | 0.22 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Celestron | | Manufacturer Part Number | 51635 | | Model Name | StarPointer Pro Finderscope | | Model Number | 51635 | | Mount | Altazimuth Mount | | Number of Batteries | 1 Lithium Metal batteries required.

I have Telrads on my two larger scopes, but the Telrad would be rather cumbersome on something as compact as the FirstScope. After doing some online searching, I found the Celestron Star Pointer.

Love the target reticle as it doesn't obscure what you are looking for like a traditional red dot. Similar, but not the same as, my trusty Telrad. Its large size makes it too big for my SCT but works great on my refractor ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great basic finderscope with almost universal fit. *by J***K on June 25, 2018* This is a great little star finder. Easy to set up, and once aligned it will make finding a specific target 10x easier allowing more time to actually use your telescope instead of spending all your time hunting for your target. I am new to astronomy and quickly finding out that everything is expensive, there's always something else you will want to purchase. You could easily sink 10k in equipment and still have plenty of other items on your wish list. This starpointer was a pleasant surprise, it's affordable and well made for what it is. I recently purchased a used Celestron 114 lcm it was missing the finderscope, this one fit on with only a small philips head screwdriver and took me about 10 to 15 minutes to align by following the instructions included. That night I was able to bring my telescope to bear quickly on whatever object I wanted to look at. If you don't have a finderscope, or aren't happy with the one you have give this one a try. At this price, it's worth the investment. If it works for you it will make up for its price on the first night, if it doesn't you can send it back or keep it as a backup for future use. It comes with 2 or 3 different mounts to allow you to mount it directly onto your telescope. If you don't have a mount or your mount is occupied you can install it anywhere on the telescope and mount it with bolts. I would suggest you try to find a spot that works best for you and temporarily mount it with double sided tape before you commit to drilling holes. There are definitely better, fancier finderscopes but this one will get the job done at an affordable price point. ## Frequently Bought Together - Celestron StarPointer Finderscope - Celestron 93973 Skyportal WiFi Module, Black - Celestron – NexYZ – 3–Axis Universal Smartphone Adapter for Telescope – Digiscoping Smartphone Adapter – Capture Images and Video Through Your Telescope or Spotting Scope --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/17821441-starpointer-finderscope](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/17821441-starpointer-finderscope) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
