Celestron StarPointer Pro Finderscope

Further details

Get more out of every stargazing session with StarPointer Pro. Spend less time centering your astronomical object and more time stargazing with Celestron’s new premium finderscope, the StarPointer Pro. Traditional red dot finderscopes were originally created for shooting sports such as airsoftairsoft guns and shooting sports. StarPointer Pro was designed for astronomers by astronomers to provide the easiest experience locating celestial objects in the night sky. Whether you’re new to the hobby or a seasoned amateur astronomer, you’ll appreciate StarPointer Pro’s thoughtful design features.

StarPointer Pro attaches quickly to any telescope and secures with a dovetail connection and finger knobs. No screwdriver needed!

How to Align the Star Pointer Finderscope
The first time you use your finder, you need to align it. This one-time setup procedure should be done during the day. Take the telescope outside and find an easily recognizable object, such as a streetlight, car license plate, or tall tree. The object should be as far away as possible, but at least a quarter mile away. Move the telescope left and right or up and down so that it is roughly pointing at the object. Look through the telescope using your low power eyepiece and move the telescope until the object you chose lies in the center of the view. Once the object is centered in your eyepiece, turn on the red dot. With your head positioned about a foot behind the finder, look through the round lens of the finder and locate the red dot. Without moving the telescope, use the two adjustment knobs located on the side and underneath the finder. One controls the left-right motion of the dot. The other controls the up-down motion of the dot. Adjust both of these until the red dot appears over the same object you are observing in the eyepiece.

  Excellent! but needs a better off switch.  Excellent delivery. Easy to fit and very easy to use. Perfect addition to a finderscope. Needs a separate on/off switch rather than just the dial setting. Dial switches it on and continue turning and it brightens. You can't leave it set to a particular brightness when you turn it off. Still worth it  (12/03/2024) Eynon -

  Very pleased  I bought this finder scope as a replacement for my Starwatcher. Once I worked out which fitting I needed it was very easy to setup. A few adjustments and I was ready to go. I especially liked the big viewing area.  (03/09/2023) Joe - Northumberland

  surprisingly useful  paired with my normal finder scope it is surprisingly easy to find things now, I managed to find a few galaxies in one night, before I spent the night fishing for things frustrated. Harrisons offered a great service as usual.  (06/06/2023) James -

  Does what it says  Great item, promptly delivered. Was easy to setup and works really well.  (13/03/2023) - Cornwall

  Great scope  Well worth spending a little extra to get this starpointer. Very easy to get alignment using the bullseye and comes included with various sized mounts should you require them. Far better than the included one that came with my scope.  (16/12/2022) Richard - Wales

  Star pointer pro  Arrived, very quickly, well packaged and complete fitted to optical tube assembly and aligned easily.

  GREAT PRODUCT !  Excellent sevice once agin from Harrison Telescopes Ltd. Very pleased with this Star Pointer Pro Finderscope! The illuminated circles are wonderfully clear and their brighness can be simply adjusted .The only drawback is the propensity to dew formation in wintery conditions with the open stucture  (16/09/2022) les - North Yorkshire

    I considered getting the cheaper version but glad I went for this one instead. Great product, made a massive difference to my skywatching. Now I know that what I'm looking at is what I should be looking at, no more guessing. Quick delivery and great service  (27/05/2020) Terry - Norfolk

  Excellent finder and service   I bought this for my 20x80 binoculars and it works perfectly. It was shipped quickly despite being in the middle of a global pandemic.  (24/05/2020) Max - London

  Excellent product.  This finder is a great improvement on the standard one supplied with the Celestron Nexstar, which was too tight to the scope for me get my head behind comfortably! Very pleased.   (14/02/2020) Bob - Cambridge UK

  Great Pointer  Easy to use and fit. Great finder. Delivery next day.   (07/12/2018) Lee - Ruislip

  Starpointer pro finderscope  Better for the beginner, but i had to use the fittings off the original mount to secure it to the scope, great advice and great speedy delivery from Harrisons.   (10/08/2018) Tony C - Cheshire

  Versatile large screen reflex finder  An extremely versatile reflex finder capable of fitting a large variety of telescopes and capable of fitting onto binoculars with 1/4" thread or central support bar with the Celestron reflex sight rail. The red circle reticles are clear and bright and fully adjustable in brightness in strong light.   (13/04/2018) David High - Norwich

  Good build quality, Ok product.  For the money this is very high quality. The finger screws are much easier to use than the universal's hex screws but the double circle sighting is not a accurate as the dot on the cheaper model and moves very slightly if you move. Build quality and wide viewing makes up for the slight inaccuracy.   (26/04/2017) Mr Smith - Bristol
