SVBONY SV165 Mini Guide Scope 30mm F4 Finder and Guide Scope for SV305C Pro, Compatible with Astronomy Telescope and ZWO QHY Orion Auto Guiding Cameras for Deep Sky Astrophotography

Focus was easy. Decent quality for a guide scope. Light weight. Good price. If this is your first guide scope - you can’t go wrong here.

Bought the 40mm variant. Light weight like a finder. Good clear multi coated objective lens. Lots of focus (length) adjustability. The base fits in a standard Synta finder shoe and has three point adjustment so it can be aligned with the optical axis of the main scope. I use this little guide scope with an astro camera to plate solve to align my mount with the stars in the sky an electronic finder if you will. I like Svbony products. They are affordably priced, good build quality and durable performance. I would recommend.

This is a very good guide scope for the money. It is easy to get focused. I also own the 50mm guide scope made by Svbony and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good quality affordable guide scope.

The scope is decently made and lightweight. Easy to focus and the red locking ring actually works very well to maintain it. Not the most impressive optic but gets the job done. Paired with an old asi385mc and getting consistently good tracking. Worth the couple bucks spent.

Works great zwo 150$.

Works just as well as $200 guide scopes, and for only 50 bucks, it’s definitely worth it. I can get guiding under 1 arc-second. Focusing can be tricky, but once it’s dialed in it performs perfectly. (I did 3-D print a due shield for it but it’s not needed.)

Works fantastic as a guide scope for my 5" SCT

This finder is meant for small telescopes used for astronomy photography. It’s compact enough that you don’t notice the weight, but provides plenty of field of view for find or tracking celestial objects. Can be used visually with an eyepiece or diagonal and eyepiece for viewing objects terrestrial or celestial objects. It is well built and made with quality metal parts that Will not break like plastic ones. It’s also not expensive for the use and build quality given the price. 👏

Works as expected. An improvement over my old 30mm ZWO scope. Plenty good for focal lengths less than 700mm The scope is held by six rotating screws. It must be accurately aligned before use or your guiding will be terrible. This is normal. Just a warning for anyone new to this hobby.

Excelente calidad y precio, buen funcionamiento y tiempos de guiado excelente, recomendable

Christmas present, recipient happy with the item. Does the job. Arrived well packaged and earlier than stated

El buscador es de muy buena calidad y la imagen que da también lo es. Lo compré para hacer autoguiado en astro fotografía pero también sirve como telescopio pequeño y como buscador si tienen un ocular con mira o una cámara. Además es ligero y no agrega peso excesivo a la montura.

SVBONY gear is quickly raising up the ranks in Astro/Optical Accessories. The Guide Scope is Branded by SVBONY but available under a variety of Brand Names World-Wide, sometimes at twice the price from companies that have a Bigger Brand name. The Scope works well and does a good job when tracking, especially when paired with ZWO cams. For the price, Highly recommended
