Is there a great finderscope??
Hi all,
Over the years I have used many telrad (or equivalent) devices. I found them particularly good on the ol' 10 inch dob when under dark skies. However, back then I was observing nearly every night and knew the sky really well. It was kind of an instinct as to where everything was.
However, when it comes to finderscopes... all the ones I have used over the years seem inadequate. Most have been 6x30 or thereabouts and seem to do NOTHING. The new scope on the way this week has, again, a 6x30 finder...
I don't believe even a 7x50 would be a big improvement (though maybe I am wrong)... there needs to be a better alternatively!!
Can you get a longer focal lenght illuminated recticle eyepiece? If so, maybe I can use the 80mm f/5 refractor as a finderscope.
Has anyone cracked this one? Or do all finderscopes disappoint?
