Explore Scientific ReflexSight

Reticle Bright Enough to See—Dim Enough to Guide

Struggling to aim in dark skies? The ReflexSight™ gives you precise star visibility without drowning your view in a glaring reticle.

Features

• New Multi-Dot Reticle Design – Includes 4.0°, 2.0°, and 0.5° concentric circles to help navigate sky charts with precision—without obstructing faint stars.
• Ultra-Dimmable Red Reticle – Enhanced brightness control lets you tune the reticle for dark-sky conditions where over-glow can ruin your field of view.
• Mini-Vixen-Style Dovetail Mount Compatibility – Attaches easily to most modern telescopes using a standard finder base (note: not compatible with upside-down T-style bases on older Explore Scientific/Meade scopes).
• Threaded 1/4-20 Adapter Built-In – Mounts securely on photo tripods, piggyback camera mounts, or other standard threaded gear—no extra hardware needed.
• Glove-Friendly Control Knobs – Large, knurled knobs for brightness and reticle alignment offer full control without removing gloves in cold conditions.
• Smooth, Snag-Free Construction – Rounded edges prevent gear snags during setup, storage, or transport.
• AAA Battery Powered – Runs on two lightweight, commonly available AAA batteries with long operational life thanks to low power draw.
• Tool-Free Three-Point Adjustment System – Rear-facing alignment knobs make sighting intuitive, fast, and easy in the field.
• Optical Cover Included – Protects the lens during storage and transport.
• Compact, Lightweight Form Factor – Fits easily into your gear bag and doesn’t throw off telescope balance.
• Compatible with Hybrid Finder Base – Using an older or non-standard telescope? The ReflexSight™ works seamlessly with the Explore Scientific Hybrid Finder Scope Base (sold separately) for flexible mounting across a wide range of scopes.

The ReflexSight™ is for you if…

• You regularly observe under dark skies and need a finder that won’t wash out faint alignment stars.
• You do star-hopping or manual alignment and want a reticle that visually matches your sky maps.
• You’ve struggled with finder scopes that don’t fit your telescope or require custom mounting solutions.
• You observe in cold weather and are tired of fumbling with tiny knobs that don’t work with gloves.
• You transport your setup to remote locations and want a compact, rugged, snag-resistant aiming tool that won’t get misaligned or damaged in transit.

If you’ve spent any time under the stars, you know the right finder can make or break your session. The ReflexSight™ was built for serious visual observers who rely on precision—not just tech—to locate deep-sky targets.

Unlike basic red dot finders that flood your vision with brightness, the ReflexSight™ lets you dial in just enough light to guide your eye—without washing out the stars you're chasing. It’s not just dimmable; it’s deliberately engineered for dark-sky performance.

The multi-dot reticle isn’t a gimmick—it’s a calibrated system that mirrors the angular distances you see in your charts. That means less guesswork, more alignment confidence, and faster target acquisition.

When you're out in the cold at 2 AM, small details matter. The glove-ready controls, rugged body, and intuitive adjustments save you time and frustration when the sky is clear and fleeting.

Precision matters in alignment. That’s why ReflexSight™ includes a tool-free, three-point parallax adjustment system that you can fine-tune in the field—even with gloves on. The coated lens ensures crisp, clean reticle projection, and the included optical cover protects your gear between sessions.

Whether you’re upgrading your rig or building a mobile setup, the ReflexSight™ adds reliability without complexity. No apps, no alignment software—just a tool that helps you connect with the night sky faster and more clearly.
