Re: Recommend a red dot sight for existing camera?

It is sad to that Dobson has just died. There was a big obituary for him in the times. He seemed a really interesting and generous character.

I have a red dot sight with the mount glued to my bird scope which does me for star gazing.

You can buy red dot sights for astronomical telescopes. They are often put on telescopes instead of the finder scope.

The Sight:
Red dot sights are also known as "tactical gunsights", and they are all designed for guns. The one in the Olympus SP-100 is the first and only one I've ever heard of, that was specifically designed for a camera.

Yes Greynerd I,

I have used Red dot on my scopes since 1997 on my first Dobsonian. I wont use scope with out one. But all of my scope sites are not ideal for my camera as mine are sticky tape mounted with three adjustment knobs for calibration. But I am sure there are great ones now that would be great on cameras.
