The finder is a See also:low-See also:power See also:telescope of large field, to the centre of which the See also:objective is brought
.
When the telescope is thus correctly aligned, the objective will be seen with the right eye largely magnified, but as two partial images separated by a thin See also:black See also:horizontal See also:line

When coincidence of the images is effected by means of the working See also:head, the range can be
