Thumbs Up!

I purchased this to use with my spotting scope. It came with a mount that fit nicely under the quick release plate on the tripod. Very happy with the scope.

The Baader Planetarium Sky Surfer III is a superior choice in the realm of red dot finders, boasting several unique features that set it apart from standard, low-cost alternatives. This high-quality optical device is equipped with an extra-large 30mm optical aperture, ensuring a significantly larger, undistorted view and a razor-sharp red dot for precise aiming.

Unlike many of its counterparts, the Sky Surfer III is designed with optimized anti-reflective lens coatings. This advanced feature ensures the right balance of locator dot brightness, virtually eliminating image dimming for a clear, bright view.

One of the standout features of this reliable red dot finder is its extra-long lens housing. This thoughtful design acts as an effective shield against dewing, ensuring uninterrupted performance in various weather conditions.

Mounting and adjusting the Sky Surfer III is a breeze, thanks to its user-friendly design. The device's elevation and azimuth can be easily adjusted by turning the two knurled knobs. Similarly, the intensity of the red locator dot can be modified using a separate knurled adjusting knob.

The Sky Surfer III comes with all necessary parts for straightforward attachment to your telescope. Simply attach one of the three included bases to your telescope, slip on the finder, and secure it with the two dovetail clamp screws. The bases are designed to accommodate a variety of tube sizes and popular SCTs, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of equipment.

The third base is designed to fit the Vixen finder dovetail standard, commonly used on many imported refractors. To ensure longevity and uninterrupted performance, each Sky Surfer III includes a replaceable 3V lithium battery.

In summary, the Baader Planetarium Sky Surfer III is a compact, durable, and accurate red dot finder, designed for those seeking high-quality optical equipment for precise shooting scenarios.
