Finding astronomical objects more easily - a finder for your camera

Fits onto the camera's hot shoe   This LED finder fits into the hot shoe of your SLR camera like a glove. Line up on an object and know immediately where your camera is pointing. Many cameras' viewfinders are too dark, and other cameras only have a digital viewfinder. The chance of locating something is very small. The Astromania 1X40RD Reflex Red Green Dot Sight Lighted Scope makes the world of astrophotographers just that bit easier.	You know just where you are with the red dot   Look through the finder and you will see a background of starry sky. A small red dot seems to float in front of this, showing you what the lens of your camera has in view. The touch of a button lets you select one of five different brightness levels. Just set it to a comfortable brightness. And, by the way, for daytime photography you can also opt for a brighter green dot.	High quality used for the stars   This LED finder for your camera is ideal for astrophotography. It originally came from hunting technology, and you will notice this immediately - this metal finder is of excellently quality. A 40mm aperture gives you a relaxed view of your target. Astronomy fans have now discovered this quality for themselves. However, astronomers only shoot photos in the sky. And here too, there are a bull, hare and a lion.
