| Product Description |
| 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). |

Telrad Finder Sight
2008-12-09

| This product made my telescope incredibly more user friendly. I would recommend this to anyone using a non-goto scope. If you know even just a few constellations, you can find many objects that you could not find before. The variable intensity is worth it alone. |

OH NO, This thing is HUGE! It Doesn't need to be this HUGE!

| The Telrad Finder works very well for what its design to do. My beef with this finder is the enormous size of it. IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THIS HUGE! The unit is 8.5" Long by 4.5" Tall at the sight. When you open the unit to put the batteries in you see a cavernous body of wasted space. I'll need to take my Camera mount off just to fit trhis unit. If your scope is less than 15" long (ie ETX 125 is too small), I would pass this finder up. It's strictly for the BIG BOYS. I did some measuring of the wasted space and it could be re designed down to 4" x 3" with absolutely no loss in optics or finding ability. If you have a small personal telescope, I'd search for RED DOT finders. |

| Worked great first time out of box.Easy to adjust to a fine point.A SUPER little product. Had to cut the base to fit to our scope and this was easy and caused no problems. Would reccomend to anyone. |

Telrad is still king

If your telescope is large enough for a Telrad (it's about 10" long), there is no better reflex sight on the market at comparable prices. Cheaper "Red-Dot" finders only display a single dot, which actually interferes with your target! The Telrad's three concentric rings are 1/2deg, 2deg, and 4deg. The 1/2deg center ring correponds with the typical field of view of most amateur telescopes. And because it's a ring and not a dot, you can still see the target planet, star, or object in its center.
The Telrad's adjustment controls are large and easy to reach. And finally, it uses two standard, low-cost AA batteries, which assures long life - as long as you remember to turn it off after observing!
I don't think the pulse kit is much help. Get it if you like that sort of thing. |

Very , very nice .
This should be your first accessory for your new scope .
Take the finder scope that came with your scope and chunk in the woods .
If you can see your target look through the bullseye in the Telrad and it is in your eyepiece .It's that easy . |
