Re: Finder Scope - Mounting on UC18


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Hi Greg,
Thanks for the very fast response. ?I to love the Telrad, first used one way back in 1985 (I think), problem is my eye sight and likely, my memory, are not as good as they were back in 1985. ?I am just unable to see things?thru?the?telrad anymore.
Normally I use my?binos first, then the?tetrad then the scope. ?But even with my 31mm televue nagler I am just not able to find things??:(.
I?want to add something like ?the 13X80?that is on the obsession website. ?I did not think of the weight being an issue for balance, thanks! I think i will talk to Dave. ?

Thanks,
Steve

I have an 18" classic and not the UC.? I used the Telrad by itself for about 13 years until I got tired of trying to center planets on an imaging chip with a Telrad - it is just not precise enough at a long focal length.? I put on a 13x80 RACI Stellarvue finder that I got from Dave K, and it has really increased by enjoyment of observing with the scope, why did I wait so long to get it?? The 13x80 is a big finderscope, easy to mount on a Classic but might be more problematic with the UC which is probably less forgiving than a Classic balance-wise.
