Seeker 60 mm TS angled 90 ° - 1.25 "and thread T2

Angled finder TS Optics 60 mm with vertical image and mirrorless
The TSFRE60T2 is more than just a finder. The good 2-element objective with a diameter of 60 mm already shows many hundreds of deep sky objects in combination with the TSIR20 illuminating reticle eyepiece. At only 830 grams including tube rings, the 60 mm finder is only minimally heavier than a conventional finder and also fits standard finder shoes such as those from Skywatcher, Vixen, Celestron or TS-Optics.

Conversion to a guide telescope for astrophotography is accomplished in a few simple steps.
When the prism is removed from the tube, you will find a T2 internal thread. From the internal thread you have a very generous working distance of 90 mm to the focus. Therefore, all common cameras and even correctors can be integrated. We especially recommend the following adaptation:

♦ TSHeli1 helical focuser with male T2 connection thread on the telescope side, the focuser fits directly into the female T2 thread. The working distance from the T2 connection and 1.25" is 33 mm to 43 mm.
♦ You can shorten the working distance with the corresponding T2 extension tubes. The extension simply comes between the finder and the helical focuser.

The advantages and features of TSFRE60T2 product:

♦ High quality metal design for best possible stability
♦ Good 2-element lens with multi-coating
♦ Focusing by turning the helical focuser of 1.25" on the eyepiece side for observation
♦ T2 female thread available for conversion to a compact guide finder scope
♦ Solid hold by compression ring
♦ Vertical and mirrorless images through the 90° Amici prism
♦ Viewing position can be rotated in the desired direction
♦ Adjustable tube rings have plastic-tipped metal screws to prevent scratches on the telescope.
♦ The finder fits standard finder mounts such as those provided by Skywatcher, Celestron, GSO, ....

Eyepiece and autoguider mount for TSFRE60T2:
The focus of the finder is about 5 mm above the 1.25" receptacle of the Amici prism. This is sufficient for many eyepieces, such as those from Plössl. A very nice eyepiece for centering is the TSIR20 illuminating reticle eyepiece, which is attached in the recommendations attachment.

Even without the T2 connection, the finder is suitable for autoguiding. However, the autoguider must have a 1.25" housing, otherwise it will not be able to focus. The T2 connection, on the other hand, will focus with all cameras.
