The Telrad sight is a non-magnifying sight to make star-hopping fun and easy. After a simple alignment process to ensure that it is perfectly lined up with your telescope and finderscope, the Telrad's intuitive "heads-up-display" of a lighted red reticle allows you to simply look through the glass window to see what the telescope is looking at.When you point the Telrad at any object in the night sky (for example, a prominent star like Polaris or Vega) you know the telescope's eyepiece will be centered on that same object.
Then as you explore the sky you can use the Telrad to help you find fainter Deep Sky Objects by referring to star charts that include the Telrad reticle printed to scale. The outer circle in the lighted red reticle covers 4 degrees of the sky, the middle circle covers 2 degrees, and the small inner circle covers 1/2 degree. And the built-in variable switch allows you to easily reduce the brightness of the projected reticle when looking at fainter stars or increase brightness for brighter objects.
Requires 2 AA batteries (not included).

I just recently got into star gazing and this is my first ever finder. Got it today and introduced it to my backyard sky. oh Boy !! its so easy to set it up. I pointed my telescope at the moon, centered it in my eyepiece and adjusted the knobs at the back of the Telrad to align the moon to the center of the circles projected by the reticle and presto !! it was spot on with my telescope.Telrad and telescope are buddies now without blood on the floor. They go all places together. Single satellite alignment. I set it up in less than 10 minutes. Its amazingly accurate. The adhesive tape at the bottom of the mount is a blessing and helps you avoid drilling holes in your OTA. You can remove the Telrad once you are done and snap it back on at the wink of an eye. You could get multiple mounts if you have more than one telescope and use the Telrad interchangeably. Excellent email communication regarding shipping by Opticsmart. Will be back for more in future.Value Quality Price - Best thing invented.

I own the AD10 and have had a lot of trouble using the RACI. The telrad has made it so much easier to align up the DOB. I wear glasses and have alot of trouble using the RACI and i never know if im looking at the right star. With the telrad i can get Saturn aligned up in one try cant ask for anything better. I have used the laser bracket mount and still went back to the telrad. Get it you wont regret it as always opticsmart shipping was the best!Price Value Quality - A must have accessory!

I bought this for my AD12 and I have not looked backed! The ease of use and simplicity allows the most novice of users to find any celestial object! I found I frequently got disoriented when using the finder scope, but the Telrad allows for a real-time picture that can really assist a newbie such as myself!Price Value Quality

Optics Mart is a top-notch company and the Telrad is a great piece of equipment that takes the pain out of finding what you want to look at quickly. Just make sure the barrel of your OTA is long enough, (at least 8") to mount the Telrad onto.Value Quality Price - Must have!

This is my second Telrad finder, and I love them. I popped mine on in about 5 minutes, including taking off the original finder, so installation couldn't be any easier. The same goes for aligning it. It was almost lined up when I first aimed it at Jupiter. I turned two of the knurled adjusting knobs, and it was spot on. It's amazing how accurate this product is. When I aim it at an target, I can be assured that when I look through the eyepiece I will see exactly what I expected to. What's really a great feature is that your able to unscrew, by hand, two small knobs and remove the Telrad, and when you put it back on, it's still perfectly aligned. The inventor of this product deserves a lot of praise.Price Value Quality - Good product

I have been looking through all kinds of view finders in the past 20 years or so, and have been listening to other amateur astronomers rave about their Telrad. And it took this long for me to get my act together and buy one. The Telrad Reflex Finder is everything they all raved about. Now I don't know how I ever survived without it.Value Quality Price
Great product, I will join the rest of the astronomers and pass on the good word about your Telrad.
Thank you for enhancing my hobby,
David
