Finaly got a Telrad..

Hi All,

Saw the Telrad on Gecko for a $50 with pulse mod, that also allows pulse rate control. Michael Toms from Gecko was a absolute pleasure to deal with. Very friendly lots of tips and pointers. Goods were well packaged. Some nice deals to be got from geckooptical.com.

Like every other wise dob owner will tell you this is one of those things you really cant do without for very long. I am geting very tired of my straight through finder scope and want something a bit better. I did not get one because i had the DSC, but alignemnet is a paing with the straight through. I find myself waisting about 1/2 hour fideling with the finder scope to get it objects in the centre of the EP's. And I still have not completely mastered this two screw adjustment for alignment, as just by themselves you can not get the cross hair on the object, you need to yank out the spring loaded screw. Maybe someone can explain it all to me..


I will advise post first light how i go. Have to buy some double sided tape. Trying to find a source for 3m VHB Double sided tape. Anyone know a place in the city (sydney) where i could get some.

Regards
