Congrats on the purchase, Netwolf! I can't imagine being without my Telrad. They really do make finding things easier.

I don't understand why you need double sided tape. Everyone I've ever seen has the tape on it from the factory. Here's a tip for you before you attach the Telrad..... Some folks like the Telrad in different spots than other folks. Before you stick it down, get a bungee cord and simply wrap the cord around the OTA and the Telrad, temporarily holding it in place. Try it out for a night, move it to a couple different spots, and see which one you like best. (For me it's right next to my 9x50 finderscope, for some folks it's lower on the OTA) Once you see where you like it best then stick it down with the tape.

The 2 screw adjustment takes a bit to get used to. Once you play around with it for a few you'll have no problem. Nice thing about the Telrad, it normally stays put (unless you do like I did... I bought a second base and switch my single Telrad between both of my scopes. I have to readjust it every time I switch.)
