red dwalf Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 i use a couple of these Ron, http://www.365astronomy.com/365astronomy-multi-reticle-red-dot-finderscope-with-metal-body-for-various-skywatcher-telescopes-p-3513.html work well and have seven brightness levels although i only need and use the lowest level which is still sometimes a little bit too much, but easy to use and have`nt failed me yet.

+RonC Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 Forgotten about those Rob, had one on the Meg 72! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red dwalf Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 i like them Ron, metal so don`t wobble around and reasonable price, fitted on to both of my scopes, i use it once to align on a star near to the imaging target, then once aligned slew to the target and centre it then i use phd to guide, simple and i works for me.
