    Description

    This auction is for a 2002
    Celestron (Synta Technology Corporation of Taiwan) 9x50 standard straight through-format finder. It will come with both original caps, the original cast aluminum bracket and all (3) original nylon set screws.
    This is one of the very last years where Celestron had their slanted italic font in their name before they changed over to the current name design. This finder, in this particular appearance and coming from Taiwan would have been an inclusive finder on the C8-DX, Ultima 2000, the C9.25 Ultima, C11 Ultima, C14 Ultima, and then the Nexstar 11 GPS Carbon fiber.
    Though the Celestron 9x50 finder was inclusive on the Edge and Evolution schmidts, the finder would be from China, not Taiwan, but otherwise looks and performs identical.
    Optics are fully coated on the objective and multicoated on the eyepiece. It has always been a wonderful finder for me. In the Palouse with the C11 and Meade 10 LX200, this easily spots M34, M27, M13, M35, M22, M4, and M11.
    This finder will fit into ANY 50mm finder bracket by Meade or Celestron or Orion. It will fit into the Polaris guider/finder rings that Celestron and Meade sold from Vixen back in the 1980s. Will fit into the high-rise Parks, Cave, Criterion, and Optical Craftsmen 50mm rings.
    The bracket assembly will work on ANY Celestron C8 to C14 of all years. It will work on all Meade 8-14 models of all years as well. The brackets are not suitable for use on a reflector because your cheek will be pressed right against the tube in order to view through the finder. However, if you are using a 40mm or 50mm right angled finder, then this CAN BE used on a reflector.
    Solid aluminum and brass construction with a polyurethane eyepiece housing. Optics are a 3-element kellner-like design for the eyepiece and a cemented doublet achromat for the objective.
    To focus for your eyes, you loosen the milled aluminum black ring on the end of the objective cell, then rotate the cell itself till the image is focused, then lock that ring so that focus remains.
    Hard to find this era of Celestron finder in this good of condition.
    Packed with great care.
