Right angle finderscope for Meade SCT

Hi All

I really don't like craning my head to much when aligning, and so would like to get a right angle finder scope.

It seems that the Stellarvue F50M2 - 9 x 50 Finder with Reticle Eyepiece would be a good choice. Anybody care to comment?

Another option would be the Orion 9x50 Illuminated Right-Angle from Bintel (and probably other places).Anybody care to comment?

I like the idea of being able to use the Stellarvue with different eyepeices.

I also think I will have to fit a new dovetail for either of these.

I have considered a red dot finder, but, for now at least, I think I prefer the scope.

Any advice welcome, as would be other suggestions.

Philip
