Stellarview 9x50 FINALLY ordered! 
Woohooo!! 
It's my Xmas pressie & I'm excited!
I'm justifying this purchase because I want to double it up as a grab'n'go because I've wanted one of those for so long as well. And I really like the fact that I can change the viewing angle easily and put higher mag ep's on it at the finder when I'm having trouble finding something. Doesn't matter if there's no cross hair in that ep as I mainly use my RDF to target things.
I've also ordered the crosshair illuminator and a camera tripod adaptor (for grab'n'go).
Bintel not having any finderscopes in stock when I wanted to buy one 6mths ago for my birthday has paid off me, but I've had to wait all this time
, but I'm sure the wait will be worth it. Aren't I lucky having a birthday in July and then Xmas in December- it's 6 mths evenly spaced out!
Thank you so much to everyone that has helped me.
Sab- a huge thank you to you because it was your post that finally swung me over into going for it. Each time I'd changed my mind because of lack of patience and nearly buy the Bintel one, I'd read your post and that would make me wait. It's so hard seeing anything out of my current finder - esp harder as I've got the RDF jammed next to it. I think i'll be re-drilling new holes once the SV comes along to accomodate everything a bit better. At the moment I have the Telrad, RDF and finder all on my dob
- I'll take all the help I can get you know..
Peter at SDM (who I ordered it from) suggested that I put the SV on the left hand side of the focusser.
Makes sense
I've just learned (after I ordered it) that it weighs a little more than a KG!
I can only imagine what fun that's going to be once I put an XW on my 2 inch barlow (just those 2 alone comes to 1kg).
I hear a song in my head and it goes like this...
see saw majorie daw lalala lalalala
