A Finderscope is a low-power telescope with a relatively large field of view. It has the same line of sight as the main telescope, helping the main telescope easily find the target. One of the differences between a telescope and a finder is that the finder has crosshairs to aid in accurately pointing at a target. You can see the crosshairs and the object together clearly through the finderscope. If you add crosshairs to the telescope, can you see it as in a finder? If so, where should you put the crosshairs?

A Keplerian telescope consists of two convex lenses, whereas a Galilean telescope consists of a convex lens and a concave lens. In a Galilean telescope, a convex lens is used as the objective lens and a concave lens is used as the eyepiece. Unlike a Keplerian telescope, a Galilean telescope is not suitable for use as a finderscope because it does not form a real image inside the tube. In this study, the activity and discussion were focused on a Keplerian telescope, which can be used as a finderscope

If positioning one’s eye far enough away from the eyepiece, it becomes possible to see the real image of the crosshairs formed by the eyepiece
