I have a "right angle" Telrad. Quite frankly its terrible. Its a little flip mirror inserted inside the dew shield of the Telrad. When the dew shield is fully open and thus not working as a dew shield you can adjust the angle of this little mirror.

Honestly if you must use a telrad, buy the telrad raiser instead to get it up and away from your scope. It's really not that bad depending on where you locate it in relation to the focuser.
