Rigel QuikFinder Compact Reflex Sight For Telescopes/ Unboxing, Review

Easy to use reflex-type finder that is similar to the Telrad Reflex Finder but a fraction of the size and weight.

A fraction of the size and weight of the competition's 'reflex' sight.
Compact design lets you use both eyes.
Aiming your telescope is easy with its wide-open right-side-up view.
Projects 1/2 and 2 degree red circles onto the night sky - what you see in the red circles is what you get in your telescope.
Pulsed or continuous illumination of the reticle is a standard feature on the QuikFinder.
Includes two baseplates, one for apertures around 5", the other for larger apertures. Easy clip on/off mounting to baseplate (no screws to fumble with).
Uses an ultra-efficient LED and runs off a CR2032 lithium battery (not supplied) for long life.

QuikFinder attaches without drilling and is easily removed from its baseplate for storage. Additional baseplates are available for using QuikFinder on more than one telescope.

Baseplate is 2.5 inches long, 2 inches wide and 1/2 inch high.

QuikFinder is 4.5 inches tall, 1.4 inches square and weighs only 80g.

Rigel QuikFinder v Telrad review

Requires CR2032 Lithium battery (not supplied).

An optional AA battery-holder for up to 2700 hours of operation from 2x AA alkaline batteries is available.

Testing your Rigel Quikfinder

Your Rigel QuikFinder is designed for use at night so the red LED reticule display is hard to see in daylight.

To test your Rigel Quikfinder, insert a fresh CR2032 battery then turn the left knob fully clockwise and the right knob fully anti-clockwise. You will now be able to see the reticule while in a dark room or under some blankets (it needs to be dark).
