I was at a club meeting on saturday and everybody seemed to have put their telerad right beside the finderscope. though im a bit sceptical, with a dob you have to tilt your head over quite a fair bit to look though the finderscope, i can imagine this would be great for giving yourself a neck ache if your going for the telerad which is even further over.

I think i might make a bracket that goes under the finderscope dovetail bracket and pops out either above or just to the side so i can see it. I guess my requirements are that the scope will be used for imaging so there will be a piggy back arrangement happening so it has to clear 80 ed or something similar!
