Finders - details to follow
 
Check out:
 
Telerad - they help with full sky viewing and a target glass - highly recommended and around 25-50$ used
 
Refractor finder scope - same as the refractor telescope just a smaller scale. Standard with most telescopes today.
 
Red dot finder - similar to a telerad - plastic or glass plate with a red dot... problem being the dot is usually where you want to aim and it blocked out your star or planet
 
GLP - Green Laser Pointer - you can attach your laser to your scope for full sky alignment CAUTION you MUST have a permit to use a GLP you can find the permit application at the Government of Canada website: http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/standards/aerodromeairnav-standards-ais-directed-bright-light-menu-1068.htm
