Hi there Mark,

Like Graeme, I too use a combination. A 9X50 finder scope that came with the Skywatcher(great unit) and a latter purchase of the Telrad.
The Telrad is great for things that are naked eye visible or for an approximate for other deep skies. Also the full moon clobbers it a bit!
The finder is great for zeroing in on the faint fuzzies although looking straight alongside the main tube can be a bit of a pain in the neck.
I dont think I could choose just one as they both have their particulay uses and I think they are both very good.

Lash out and buy both!! Whats money for anyway?

Enjoy your viewing,

Wade
