A quick coment. My scope came with a finder scope attached, as most do. Its a straight through one and I originally had problems using it to acutally find things. For this reason I attached a Telrad and this has been my workhorse for locating objects, especially for star hopping and from the Telrad Charts.
Now, with a bit of practice, I can use my finder scope with both eyes open to superimpose the images on eachother. As a result I am finding myself using this method more and the Telrad less.
Both methods have their uses and reverting back to a finder scope is a bit contrary to the common lines of thinking I see on most forums, not that it worries me.
What methods do you use to aim your scope ?
