Quick Summary
The Celestron StarPointer is a red dot telescope finderscope designed to add “point and look” aiming to a telescope. It keeps the view right-side up, which helps the sight picture match what you see with your unaided eyes.
The red dot brightness is adjustable, so you can keep it dim for night viewing or increase it for finding land-based objects during the day. The item includes the mounting base and a CR2032 3V battery.
