I'll be interested to hear how it goes for you Programmer
After just a couple of sessions, I find I can pretty much get something in the finder with a quick look along the tube.. I'm surprised this works so well. But I'm hoping the Telrad will reduce that need by a large factor. Whether I leave the 8x50 on remains to be seen.

Re dew shields, anyone know what the 'plus' version has over the 'normal' version (at Bintel). How can a piece of plastic like this be worth nearly $50? Think I'll be making my own.
