Condition: Very good, with clean optics and only minor paint chips on the body. This finder/guidescope gives an erect view through its prism, and takes standard 1.25" accessories, so you can mount this on your larger scope as a low-magnification, wide-field instrument. Includes the mount seen in the photos, which has what appears to be a 3/8-20 screw.
