Omegon 9x50 finder scope - turns searching to finding
Finding astronomical objects is particularly easy with the Omegon 9x50 finder scope. Opt for the Omegon 9x50 finder scope - it provides both a bright image and comfortable viewing.
9x50 - the numbers say it all
This finder scope has a 50mm aperture, and so provides a particularly bright image. Objects which you are not even able to see using just the naked eye will usually become directly visible. Also, if you are trying to locate one of the brighter DSOs, this will no longer be able to remain hidden, giving itself up to your searching eye.
A big plus: a star map with reference stars with which one can orient oneself is usually used to find particular objects. Some of the stars shown on star maps cannot be seen, or are difficult to see, with just the naked eye however. This finder scope makes a large number of additional stars available - a big plus for being able to successfully locate objects.
The achromatic optics provide a bright, true-to-life image at 9x magnification. In addition, the optical surfaces have been multi-coated to prevent irritating reflections.
How to find your object
The Omegon 9x50 finder scope has built-in crosshairs to let you find the correct object more easily and to put it in the middle of the main telescope's field of view. The threads have been kept quite fine but are still very visible against the night sky nevertheless. The finder scope comes supplied complete with a robust mounting plate. Two adjustment screws and a compression spring allow very rapid alignment with the main telescope. Precise focusing can be achieved by rotating the objective lens.
Simple assembly
The finder scope will fit into a large range of holders: Skywatcher, Celestron, Vixen, Orion, GSO and many other makes have compatible finder scope shoes.
Angled eyepiece with upright image
Enjoy both a comfortable 90 degree viewing angle and an upright, non-reversed image. An integrated prism displays objects in a similar way to that with binoculars or spotting scopes. This finder scope makes using a star map much easier, and you can observe near the zenith at a completely relaxed angle.
The advantages in a nutshell:
- 9x50 finder scope with 50mm objective lens diameter
- brighter DSOs directly visible
- holder fits onto most telescopes
- easy focusing at the objective lens
- adjustment of finder scope alignment via two screws and spring
Omegon angled eyepiece for 90 degree polar finder-scope

Product description:
You can either crouch on the ground, or make locating the pole much more comfortable.
Having to kneel on the ground to look through the polar finder in a cramped position is always irritating - no question. North aligning the mount is an unpleasant job, even for younger people - and all because the polar finder is straight and pointing down at a steep angle. The Omegon 90 degree angled view polar finder attachment makes the job much simpler, and guarantees no back pain.
The advantages in a nutshell
easier to adjust the polar finder - you look into it at a 90 degree angle
never have to kneel on the ground again to carry out polar adjustment
image orientation remains undisturbed
adjustable focus
1X and 2X zoom factor for an overview and a more detailed image
simply place the metal angled finder - with its Amici prism and coated optical surfaces - over the polar finder and fix it in position.
You will know this as a general rule - if you are observing in a comfortable posture, you are also able to observe objects better and you simply see more. It is a similar story with a polar finder - the attachment will give you more time for adjusting the alignment and you will benefit from a more precise north alignment of your mount.
360 degrees rotatable
Even if you look into the polar finder a little to the right or to the left of the mount - the angled finder can be rotated as you wish.
Focusable - always achieve a sharp image
A sharp view of the Pole Star and reticule - that's one prerequisite offered by the angled finder. The built in optics are as simple to adjust for your visual acuity as with a normal focuser. This is also a real plus for spectacle wearers.
Rubber eyecup for a better view
The funnel-shaped eyecup gives you a high-contrast view without any light intruding from the outside. It is also practical - it can be easily folded.
Zoom levels - 1X and 2X
The normal 1X view the angled finder provides is a generous overview. But sometimes the central part of the image in the polar finder needs to be seen better - simply increase the magnification to 2X and you'll see a large image of what is really important.
Will this angled finder fit on my mount?
With its 30mm inner diameter the Omegon angled finder will fit onto the polar finder of most common mounts. This is simply achieved, with no screwing on necessary - just put it on, tighten the knurled screws and you are ready to go.
A selection of matching mounts
Skywatcher: EQ5, AZ-EQ5, HEQ5, EQ6, AZ-EQ6, Adventurer, Adventurer mini
Orion: Atlas Pro, Atlas EQ-G
Celestron: AVX, CGEM
Lacerta: Polarie polar finder
Please Note: It is not suitable for the iOptron polar finder!
North align your mount easier and more comfortably with the Omegon Angled Finder than was ever possible in the past.

Manufacturer's product description:
Omegon module finder - the guide scope and finder scope for small telescopes
Not every telescope can take a large finder scope with two heavy ring clamps. What about smaller telescopes that have already reached the weight limit of their mount? Or perhaps you just want to use a more compact guide scope?
There is now the Omegon module finder. Just slot this mini guide scope onto the finder scope shoe of your telescope and you can immediately get started photographing nebulae and galaxies.
achromatic optics with 50mm aperture and 180mm focal length
highly compact guide scope for bright guide stars
for telescopes up to around 1500mm focal length
1.25" connection for auto guider and eyepieces
fits into any Synta finder scope shoe
Compact guide scope for instant use
Modern auto guider cameras are so sensitive that they no longer require a huge guide scope. Most short focal lengths work even better together with auto guiders, as accidental overdriving of the guider is no longer a risk. Why use a long telescope when a compact one is so much more practical?
Here is where the Omegon module finder comes in: This miniature guide scope has only a 50mm aperture and fits onto any Synta / Vixen finder scope shoe. The module finder functions accurately with telescopes of up to about 1500mm focal length. It saves you a lot of time, as it has never been easier to attach the guide scope to a telescope.
Three adjustment screws for the guide star
The Omegon module finder has three adjustment screws, just like a normal finder scope. These are not only for aligning the guide scope and finder scope with the main telescope, but also serve for pointing at a bright guide star in the field of view.
Also suitable for small telescopes
Do you have a smaller telescope or an instrument on a smaller mount and want to take astronomy photos? Then the Omegon module finder is just job for you - weighing in at around 450g, it is virtually a flyweight for your telescope.
A finder scope that takes normal eyepieces
You can use the finder module both as a finder scope and as a guide scope. When not shooting, you can use it to easily locate astronomical objects, just like with a traditional finder scope. You can use a reticule eyepiece or an eyepiece with a suitable focal length for searching for astronomical objects.
The easy way to perfectly guided astronomy photos - the Omegon module finder.
Our expert comment:
The modular finder-scope has a 1.25 inch opening at the back which allows most guide cameras to be easily connected. But different guide camera models have different back focuses and the modular finder scope's manufacturer does not know in advance which guider the customer will want to use.
A generous back focus has been designed-in for exactly this reason. As a rule, 1 to 2 extenders (product number 33231) will be enough to roughly reach the focal point. It is then clamped on to the 33231 extender. We additionally recommend using a clamping ring (product number 45773) for achieving a reproducible focus position.
Fine focusing is made possible by use of the lens-side adjusting ring.
V-Power Base -how to simply mount your finder scope
Not every chic focuser has the option of mounting a finder scope onto it. However, this often a wish expressed by amateur astronomers. By simply attaching this finder scope shoe onto your V-Power focuser it's then ready to take any finder scope you want to use.
The advantages in a nutshell
special finder shoe for V-Power focusers
decide whether you prefer to attach your finder on the right or left
for all Vixen-style finder scopes
The finder shoe is made of CNC machined aluminium and is therefore of excellent workmanship. A side clamping screw is provided to secure the finder in place, which can be used from either side.
