Very interesting reading through this post. I have been looking to change from my red-dot finder as I find the contortions my back has to endure are creating problems for me. I would like a right-angle finder, but how well do these work if you don't have an illuminated graticule? Perhaps a Telrad mounted to the side and at the front of the scope might be better option. Or perhaps even a combo, as you use Geoff?
My scope does have GOTO but even the initial alignment I find painful, especially on high alignment stars. Also the GOTO isn't helping me learn the skies. Any other thoughts?
