SVBONY SV182 6x30 Right-Angle Correct-Image Finder Scope with Bracket

Product Overview

The SVBONY SV182 is a 6x30 finder scope with a 90° eyepiece and an upright, correctly oriented image. The fully multi-coated two-element achromatic objective gives a 7.5° field with a single crosshair reticle, 15 mm of eye relief and a 5 mm exit pupil. A spring-loaded X-Y bracket makes alignment with your main telescope straightforward. It weighs 295 g.

Who It's For

This is a good match if your telescope points high in the sky, as Maksutovs and SCTs often do, and you want to aim it without bending under a straight-through finder, or if you prefer a finder view that matches star charts and daytime landmarks the right way up.

Key Features & Design

• 90° viewing angle: look down into the finder rather than sighting along the tube.
• Correct image: upright and not mirror-reversed, so the view matches the sky and the landscape.
• 6x30, 7.5° field: 120 mm focal length, 5 mm exit pupil and 15 mm eye relief.
• Fully multi-coated achromat: two-element 30 mm objective.
• Single crosshair: non-illuminated reticle for centring targets.
• Spring-loaded X-Y alignment and adjustable focus.

Recommended Uses

• Star hopping to planets, clusters and nebulae.
• Aligning GoTo mounts on bright alignment stars.
• Daytime aiming at landmarks to align the finder with the main scope.

Compatibility and Accessory Notes

• Mounting: supplied with its bracket. If you want to confirm it suits the finder shoe on your telescope, send us the model and we will check it with you.
• With the SVBONY MK127: the MK127 does not include a finder, and the SV182's right-angle eyepiece suits a scope pointed high toward the planets.

Good to Know Before You Order

• Reticle: the crosshair is not illuminated; it shows best against a lightly lit sky or on bright stars.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it difficult to set up?

No. Mount the bracket, aim the main telescope at a distant landmark or the Moon, and use the two alignment screws to bring the crosshair onto the same target.

Is the image upright?

Yes. It is a correct-image finder, upright and not reversed.

Why a right-angle finder?

When a telescope points high, a straight-through finder puts the eyepiece close to the tube and low. The 90° eyepiece of the SV182 keeps the viewing position comfortable.

Bottom Line

In short: a 6x30 right-angle finder with an upright, correct image, 7.5° field and crosshair, for comfortable aiming of a telescope that points high.
