Takahashi Starbase 80 6x30 Finder with Bracket

Product Overview

This is a complete 6x30 finder unit built for the Starbase 80 — a 30mm objective at fixed 6x magnification, supplied together with its mounting bracket. It locates objects outside the main tube's narrow field so you can center them before switching to the eyepiece.
