We don't carry a finderscope (spotter) for Bushnell telescopes.

As for eyepieces, first, check the diameter of the opening in the focuser. It will be either .965" or 1.25"

If it is .965", selection will be limited to either the Meade, http://www.opticsplanet.net/meade-modified-point-965-achromatic-eyepieces.html or the Zhummel, http://www.opticsplanet.net/zhumell-0965-plossls-eyepieces.html

If it is 1.25", there are many choices. You can see all our 1.25" eyepieces at http://www.opticsplanet.net/telescope-accessories.html , but a good budget eyepiece is the Celestron E-Lux, http://www.opticsplanet.net/celestron-telescopes-eyepieces-elux-series.html

To determine magnification with any telescope, divide the focal length of your telescope (usually marked in mm on your telescope) by the focal length of the eyepiece. For small telescopes, it is not advisable to excceed 150x.

Please note that most telescopes need at least two eyepieces and most observers use three or more. Adding eyepieces to upgrade your telescope may not be cost effective, Given that many small telescopes can be purchased new, tripod, eyepieces and all, for under $150.
