Simply remove the cap and place the light in front of the polar finder. You adjust the brightness infinitely, so it is always pleasant to work with. The battery is included and is easy to replace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"90587\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.telescoop.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Skywatcher-EQ-3-2-En-EQ-5-Monteringen-Verlichte-poolzoeker-voor-2.jpg\" alt=\"Skywatcher EQ-3-2- And EQ-5 Mounts illuminated polar finder shown separately with adjustment knob for brightness on white background.\" class=\"wp-image-90587\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clear view, more stable use<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With this lighting, you can see the pole star and other reference points better.
