Yeah, the finder is attached to a dove tail thingy. I'm definitely going to look through some other people's finders before making a final decision.

I don't actually mind the red dot finder it self, it's more the 'bells and whistles' on it that are not just superfluous imho but actually a bit detrimental to the ergonomics of the thing. I'm not in a desperate rush to change it so I'll make sure to find the one that really suits me before changing it..

So what are the options? Like a straight through 'sight tube', can't imagine that being great on top of a 12"Dob.

Telrad sounds like an option, what's the diff between a telrad and a red dot? Telrad kinda looks like a red dot but 10 times the size and those concentric rings don't look THAT much more convenient then just a dot surely?

Right angle finder, I'll have to see one 1st, in the dark can you really tell where the centre of the finder is?

Any other popular options for me to consider?
