Hi Sub,
I really fancy my Telrad. I use it like this:
- check the star chart for location in the surrounding sky
- using the Telrad move the scope (it is a Dob) to the right area
- using the Telrad circles check what I expect to see in the finderscope
- refine it using the RA finder (no pains in the neck)
- and then usually all I need to do is decide what EP to swap to
This is quite a quick process even for the light-polluted sky in my backyard.
Cheers
Geoff
