welcome collin it looks like a nice scope it is the one with the motor for tracking correct? also it looks like the same red dot finder that came with my scope i had to buy a new one i couldn't see threw the 2 plastic plates in the finder scope when u turn it on at night the light would illuminates the plastic plate and u cant see the second dot on the second plate to align the two dots lol. i bought this one below from Canadian telescopes it helps alot to find things at night trust me it saves me alot of aggravation in the field. www.canadiantelescopes.com/Shop-By-Brand/Baader-Planetarium/Baader-Baader-Sky-Surfer-III-red-dot-finder_2.html#.VBoCqOdxpp8 welcome collin and hope to see your their |

Honestly, i've not had too many issues with the red dot finder, found my sweetspot behind it and it has worked out quite well. |
