Digital camera reviews of Telrad Finder Sight
Digital camera Review: A MUST have for any amateur astronomer
Summary: 5 Stars
A couple years ago, I bought a new Orion XT8 dobsonian telescope. It came with a straight magnifying finder -- WOW was that impossible to effectively use. The very next day, I ordered the Telrad and easily attached it when it arrived. Looking for my targets in the sky instantly became 100X easier and more enjoyable than before.
This product is a must have for any amateur astronomer (and pretty much 100% of all amateur scopes that I've seen among the astronomy club members have one of these affixed). Its not only a must have, but its the very first add-on you will want to do for your scope if you've just bought your first scope. Its far more important than buying lenses, or buying filters, or "go to" controls or anything else.
Summary of Telrad Finder Sight
The easiest way to aim a telescope. The view seen through the window of the Telrad is continuous with the sky around it, not magnified or upside down. Three rings are lighted and appear to lie among the stars. The small ring outlines the Moon-sized area seen in the telescope. The large outer ring outlines the area seen in a standard Finderscope. To point your telescope, just look through the Telrad and move the telescope until the rings are centered on the object. The Telrad is 8 inches long. Weighs 11 ounces and mounts on any telescope without drilling any holes. It unlocks from its base for separate storage. Requires 2 AA batteries (not included).Finder Scopes
