Thanks
for your reply Paul,
?
I
spoke with my dealer and their response was the Celestron finder was acceptable
for what I wanted.? I have the telrad already on the C14 - just wanted to
be able to get down within 5 - 7 degrees of what I?was searching for.?
So far with?the Telrad and the 40mm Pentax, I haven't found the need for
anything else but thought I might be missing a better tool to find the objects
quicker or to complement what I have.? I agree the Starbeam looks sexy from
the uninitiated perspective (haven't seen one in action yet but size and from
Tele Vue to boot are good selling points)?and I would look at using it on a
smaller scope than the C14 (telrad on a FLT110 just doesn't seem appropriate :)

As for
the eyepiece request from televue102?- My vote is for the Pentax
XL28.??It fills?the cap with what I have which
is
?
Pentax
XL40, Tele Vue 31, XL28, XL14, Tele Vue 10.5, XL5.2

Jim,
Don't get the Starbeam!
?It looks cool but is a pain. ?First, it is VERY easy to knock out
of alignment. ?I am constantly realigning mine. ?Second, it offers
no light gathering or magnification. ?As such, on nights when you might
need a 50mm or 60mm finder to give you just enough light grasp to see
something, you won't be able to with Starbeam. ?Of course, all that being
said, the Starbeam is what I have, and the reason I am looking for something
else.
