Hi Greg. Thanks for your response.
I am not using a non-magnifying finder. I am using a 50mm RACI finder that takes 1.25" eyepieces. I am trying to decide which eyepiece (and thus field of view) I want to use with this finder and telescope, using the finder chart. The fields of view are 5.8 and 8.0 degrees. There are two eyepieces I am considering, so when I saw the spot to configure two magnifying finders I went for it.
This is nothing I need to have. Is there any use for the second finder definition? Can I switch which finder is displayed on the finder chart? Then I could compare the effect of the different fields of view.
I once saw a large Unitron telescope at a star party which had two finders of different size on it, where you would progress from the first finder to the second and then the telescope. This appeared to be the original configuration for the telescope. It was beautiful.
Thanks again,
Paul
Hey Greg -- I just found the dropdown box to select which finder! I can't explain why I didn't see it before.
