Review of SkyWatcher 9x50 RACI Finder Scope
My first choice for a replacement of the standard finder with a right angle corrected image (RACI) finder was the Sky-Watcher version. This was highly rated by BBC Sky at Night Magazine and seemed a worthy contender.
The basic specifications is the same as for the straight through finder here but with the addition of a right angle/correcting prism and eyepiece.

However I had decided after upgrading to GoTo I would prefer an illuminated reticule for ease of setting up the mounts GoTo capabilities.

I have found perfect star alignment is quite critical to Sky-Watchers Synscan/Skyalign system when using three alignment stars and after a few tough experiences I prefer to set the scopes alignment using the finder crosshairs as a reference.

Verdict
If only Sky-Watcher had an illuminated version it would have been my choice. More than adequate optics in a small simple package at a bargain price and with an easy to set up quick release mount make this finder one of the best. If only it had an illuminator it would have been a keeper.
