Hi Slida. Like you, I'm a relative newcomer to this hobby. To reinforce the comments of others, I've found my Telrad to be an indispensable tool ... it has a great wide view that allows me to star hop my way to the next target and point my telescope in roughly the right area of space. Then I use the finder scope for more 'precise' pointing. Your red dot finder will likely be used in the same fashion as I use my Telrad - it's a 'blunt instrument' but mighty handy to have :-) Alex
