Well the telrad was delivered, I also bit the bullet and bought the dew shield aswell. Matthew also showed me a crayford focuser aswell as a rack and pinion, both 2"/1.25". The R&P focuser was basically crap, very light, and felt cheap (was only $60) The crayford style focuser was much better, felt very smooth and reasonably light aswell. I may have to save a little more now, this is the next planned upgrade.
Anyway first impressions on the Telrad was "BIG" A little bigger than I though actually. Never the less it seemed to do okay, it's a shame about the plastic body though, sort of makes it look like an expensive cheap toy. But it still does the job it was designed to do. I noticed straight away the little sign on top of it saying dont point the reticle to the sun. I am guessing a few people have done this in the past. It went on the scope really easy. Did I mention it looked big. Below are some images of it on my scope. Taken from inside my observatory.
