Correct-Image Finder for Easier Star Hopping
Unlike inverted or mirror-reversed finders, the SV182 displays a correct image, making it easier to follow star maps and hop between reference stars when locating deep-sky objects.
Optical Performance & Viewing Comfort
The 30 mm objective lens gathers sufficient light to show faint stars, while the eyepiece design offers comfortable eye relief for extended observing sessions.
Finder Comparison & Field of View
Compared with simple 1× finders, the 6× magnification allows fainter stars to be seen, improving accuracy when centring targets for higher-power observing.
