Originally this product had a military function, hence it is built like a tank.
With both jump covers flipped open, the unit works as a terrestrial as well as an astronomical Red Dot Finder for straight through aiming with both eyes open, featuring a sharp 2 MOA red dot with 11 brightness set points. The three lower light settings are intended for night work against the sky.
With both jump-covers closed, the unit works as a safe daylight solar finder, projecting the solar disc through a 1.5 MOA (minutes of arc) pinhole onto a 40 mm wide rear 2 MOA reticle. The reticle is applied onto a yellow UV-blocker for added safety against accidental straight viewing. The projected solar image can be centered onto the reticle without looking straight through the finder.
To not loose sighting stars, the view though the SkySurfer V is markedly brighter compared to regular gunsight red dot visors.
All lenses and optical windows of the SkySurfer V are fully multicoated for maximum starlight throughput
The optical body and all adjustments are waterresistant, fogproof and shockproof
SkySurfer V comes fully assembled with anti-dew extensions and jump covers mounted.
SkySurfer V: scope of supply
Features of the SkySurfer V
Fully multicoated lenses provide increased light transmission
Illuminated red dot reticle is highly visible in daylight and dimmable for unimpaired night vision
Unlimited eye relief
Use with both eyes wide open
Red Color does not impair nightvision
35 mm deep added dew-shields on either side prevent fogging of the lenses and work as a perfect straylight shield.
70 mm elevation of Universal Red Dot Mount enables effortless aiming – even when mounted onto the optical tube of a Newtonian telescope (most low profile red dot aiming devices don't provide enough "face-space" between telescope and finder.
Ready out of the box: Extension tubes and jump covers readily mounted
Front jump cover features a 1.5 MOA center hole to work as moisture release when closed after use and to work as daylight pinhole projector.
Rear jump cover features a 40 mm yellow UV-blocked window with integrated opaque reticle with 2 MOA (minutes of arc) center hole to catch the solar image projected by the front 1.5 MOA center hole.
0.7 mm / 1.5 MOA bore hole, prevents moisture and is used for solar projection
