RDF = red dot finder?

I have not problem using a 8x50 finder.
Make sure the finder is accurately aligned.
If not, try aligning on the moon, big target and easy to find.
Take an image of the moon and check where what is visible, adjust the finder as needed.
Once close try on a bright star, and adjust again.
This is good enough to get the star on the chip.
After a few minor adjusts the star / planet is easily centred.

Personally I cann't stand red dot finders.
