Red Dot Finder vs Telrad, not the usual question
Hi All,
Hasn't it been great viewing in Sydney last few nights?!!
I already have a Red Dot Finder (RDF=see attached image) which came with my 12" Lightbridge and quickly acquired an 8x50 right angled right side up finderscope. I haven't used the red dot finder at all yet, and would consider screwing its bracket in between the eyepiece and the finderscope (the finderscope sits on the original bracket for the RDF) to be used WITH the finderscope.
However, and here is the question, if I already have a RDF, do the concentric circles of a Telrad confer additional navigatory benefit for the star hopper? I am prepared to buy a Telrad if the weight of opinion drives me in that direction.
Cheers,
Murat
