Thanks for your comments Mal.
In our experience the Smart Finder is great to use with the ETX125PE. Having Autostar you really only need to use the Smart Finder when doing your initial two star alignment for each observing session. If your Smart Finder is aligned to your Scope whenever you do a Go To the subject should be in the FOV. The only problem with our finder is that it sometimes fogs over because of the extreme cold where we live. In our opinion we don't think you can improve on the Smart Finder on the ETX.
The Telrad in our opinion is a must for the novice Dob owner THAT'S US !!!
We have found it so easy for us to find objects after having been used to the Meade. But as you would know a Go To scope introduces you to many objects that would take years to find otherwise so the experience with the ETX has helped us to find objects much easier with the Dob.
