New (?) SV 60mm Finder

[COLOR="Purple"]Just noticed that SV (Stellarvue) has a new 60mm finder listed on their web site. With all the raves about the 50mm and the new (relatively) 80mm finders, I wonder if this one will be another winner. Frankly, the 60mm size is tempting to me.

Anyone seen or used one of the 60mm finders?
Curious,

Sounds nice, I have the 50mm RA and it is pretty good. Have not seen the 60mm though.

I have a 60mm finder on one of my scopes. It isn't a SV, but I can tell you that it shows a lot more than a 50mm. Plus it is only a little bigger. If you are looking for a finder I feel this is a great size to get.

[COLOR="Purple"]Well....being a finder freak, I may just have to try one of the 60mm SVs. I think a 50mm is the minimum for a useful finder...and bigger is better.

Here's a pic of finders I have on my current scope- 80mm, with Rigel and green laser mounted on the 80mm OTA.

I've since replaced the 80mm with a Vixen 70mm guide scope.

My newest scope will have Just the Rigel mounted on the upper assembly to keep the weight down...unless I make a few adjustments and allow for the 60mm SV.....
