Description
Originally this product had a military function, hence it is built like a tank.
With both jump covers flipped open, the unit works as a terrestrial as well as an astronomical Red Dot Finder for straight through aiming with both eyes open, featuring a sharp 2 MOA red dot with 11 brightness set points. The three lower light settings are intended for night work against the sky.
With both jump-covers closed, the unit works as a safe daylight solar finder, projecting the solar disc through a 1.5 MOA (minutes of arc) pinhole onto a 40 mm wide rear 2 MOA reticle. The reticle is applied onto a yellow UV-blocker for added safety against accidental straight viewing. The projected solar image can be centred onto the reticle without looking straight through the finder.
- To not loose sighting stars, the view though the SkySurfer V is markedly brighter compared to regular gunsight red dot visors.
- All lenses and optical windows of the SkySurfer V are fully multicoated for maximum starlight throughput
- The optical body and all adjustments are waterresistant, fogproof and shockproof
- SkySurfer V comes fully assembled with anti-dew extensions and jump covers mounted.
Features of the SkySurfer V
- Fully multicoated lenses provide increased light transmission
- Illuminated red dot reticle is highly visible in daylight and dimmable for unimpaired night vision
- Unlimited eye relief
- Use with both eyes wide open
- Red Color does not impair nightvision
- 35 mm deep added dew-shields on either side prevent fogging of the lenses and work as a perfect straylight shield.
- 70 mm elevation of Universal Red Dot Mount enables effortless aiming – even when mounted onto the optical tube of a Newtonian telescope (most low profile red dot aiming devices don’t provide enough “face-space” between telescope and finder.
- Ready out of the box: Extension tubes and jump covers readily mounted
- Front jump cover features a 1.5 MOA center hole to work as moisture release when closed after use and to work as daylight pinhole projector.
- Rear jump cover features a 40 mm yellow UV-blocked window with integrated opaque reticle with 2 MOA (minutes of arc) center hole to catch the solar image projected by the front 1.5 MOA center hole.
