Yep Chris.
I have hardly ever seen the crosshairs in my GS Finderscope. Makes centreing in the FOV almost impossible. Same problem with this one I have just made.

Laurie, sounds OK for planets & other brighter stuff but I don't think I will be able to see those faint fuzzies with a slight red glow on the objective lense.
I can hardly see them without the glow.

Dunno mate! I'm stumped with electronics.
Seems like I will have to get an illuminated Reticle EP. I had a look through Robins at Camp and it was excellent!
