Which PiFinder is right for my scope?
The PiFinder comes in Left/Right and Flat configurations to allow the screen and keypad to be placed conveniently while keeping the camera looking at the sky to guide you.
Flat PiFinders
Designed for refractors, SCT’s and other telescopes or binoculars with a focuser at the rear they mount on top of your scope for easy access to the screen keypad while you track down and observe objects.
The camera is positioned to look along the scope towards the sky, while the keypad and screen face upward with slight tilt back for a more ergonomic experience at the eyepiece
Left/Right PiFinders
For telescopes with the focuser out the side, like many Newtonian based Dobsonians and related designs, the screen faces the focuser while the camera looks along the telescope tube towards the sky. Which side the focuser sticks out on varies by manufacturer and person preference, so we have a version for either!
Left and Right refer to which way the camera is pointing while you are looking at the screen as well as which side the focuser is on if you are standing at the mirror end looking towards the aperture.
Pictured here are the Left and Right PiFinders. You can see the back of the camera mount on each unit and the camera points to the right of the image on the Right unit and left on the Left unit.
Straight-Through PiFinders
For larger rear-focus scopes where the top of the scope is too high for an upward facing screen/keypad there is the Straight-Through configuration. This style has the screen and camera in a line for easy visibility and access.
