An alternative to this is the Rigel Quickfinder. Like the telrad it projects aiming circles onto an angled transparent screen, but the rigel is much smaller and lighter and runs off a lithium button cell.

I own both and prefer the rigel unless on a big scope where the size and weight isnt an issue.
