Albert and others, I also have placed my Telrad at the "right rear" position and I find it a satisfactory spot, but I generally use my 8X50 finder more then my telrad. My telrad base is attached using

Thanks for the "sacrificial offering" to the telescope gods. Now we know not to use that black stuff. Regarding the sticky tape -- just so you know. It's not that it is "easy" to take off with a hair

RE: Black Silicone as adhesive for telrad/quikfinder test I've just tried to remove my test sample. Pros: 1. Seems very strong - would definitely hold finder/telrad 2. Very manageable and forgiving -

It appears that right rear is going to be the spot for my new Telrad. Unforunately it's going to be one more thing that will affect the balance of my scope. It's nice to know that I can go with the

Hi Jim! Good understanding of the issues. Eye relief for someone who wears glasses is a prime consideration. Especially when glasses kill a "wide field" (nothing like looking in a 7 mm. Nagler and

Hi Jim First off the 8 mm Lanthanum is a great 'Messier' eyepiece ! While i only have 26 m's on my observed list (embarassing) all without exception are fantastic in the 8 mm PLEASE CALL La Maison

Hi Jim, I have been using a 10mm Speers Waller for over a year now and really like the field of view, and details seen, as compared to the 10mm Plossl I had. However, I don't use eyeglasses. Richard

Hey Rol et al!! Yes I am back in Ottawa!! I was out with my small Dob at my brother's in Almont last night. Dark skies, but too many lights from various neighbours. It is great to see the old friends

Hi Experts, I've got on Orion XT8 f/6 dob and am not too happy with the stock 10mm plossl eypiece and am thinking of making an acquisition. My constraints are: 1) I'm an eyeglass wearer and I like to

I just finished installing a "blinking" module on my Telrad. It is really slick!! It allows you to set the target symbol from full on to slow blink, to everything in between. A new dial switch

Albert, Welcome to the group ;-) I've posted a similar question to S.A.A newsgroup in the past. I got some interesting answers about "mounting" for experimentation. A common observation seemed to be

Hi gang Something to take a look at. BTW........i ordered mine at their web-site on a Saturday at it was delivered priority mail on the following Friday. Not too shoddy. Of course 65% on Canadian

Welcome back from T.O. Richard!! Yeah, Always... Be most welcome to the group, Pete! Thought you could sneak in by helping someone straight off, without even getting welcomed, did you!? No way! A very

Bruce, I don't want to eat up to much on the message board with this but... The scope is a CM-1100 which is on a German equatorial mount (CI-700). Therefore the rear right seems to be the right spot.

HI! I have found that the best place for a Telrad, is where it DOESN'T: 1. Interfere with a camera piggy-back mount. 2. Doesn't adversely affect balance. 3. Isn't difficult to move back and forth from

Good points about the dew shield interferencen and the need to add a dew removal system for the Telrad. I think of the Telrad as the canaries they use to take down into the mines. The canary always

Hi Albert: Welcome to the group. I'm sure you will find the people here are very helpful to us newcomers. I bought a scope (including a Telrad) just a month or so ago, and I had exactly the same

Pete, Thanks, I'll mount/aim it tomorrow in preparation for next weekend. BTW, I do have the dew sheild on order which I will more than likely follow with an order for a heater. Cheers, Albert. only

Albert, Here is my take on it. Most of the real estate on a C-11 or C-8 is taken up with a regular finder and space for a piggy-back mount - only the right rear portion isn't spoken for. I would mount

Hi, My name is Albert Saikaley. Mike Zeidler introduced me to a couple of OAF's and your/our yahoo group at the last RASC meeting. Here's the question: I finally broke down an bought a Telrad for my
