This finder is a bit chunky but solidly built. Without a rear sight there's a bit of a knack in getting your head and eye into position to see the reticle, but once you've got it it's dead easy to move the telescope to line the inner circle up with the object you're aiming at. You don't need to keep your eye particularly close to the finder, which is helpful. It's straightforward to adjust the collimation with the three knobs provided. This is far more satisfactory than the 9 x 50 finder I was using before.

I have owned various red dot finders over the years. But never the Telrad until now. And I kick myself for not buying this one years ago. I shall use it along with my 9x50 finder (which moves and needs realignment every time I set up. People say the Telrad is unsightly, I have to disagree, I think it looks great. Matter of taste I suppose. I like the fixing too, should be very stable and reliable.
As usual great service from F.L.O and super fast delivery.

Great speedy service from FLO. The Telrad provides a fantastic and simple method of star alignment in combination with any goto system. Wish I'd bought this sooner. So much easier!

Why didn't I get one before! Truly excellent in it's simplicity, design, and usefulness.

Bought to use on my 8" Dob, sits nicely next to my finderscope on the tube, allowing me to still use both. Quite light for it's size but also quite large, get the feeling it could easily have been made smaller.
Does it's job really well and makes navigating the night sky to find those almost invisble objects much easier than just using a regular finderscope.
Like most astrophotography tools/equipment however, you can't help but notice that you seem to be paying a premium to make your life easier rather than just paying a fair price for the product itself (NOT FLO's fault, it's the same everywhere with all types of astro equipment). Does not look or feel like it should cost £40, £20 max, but you'll never find one for that price.

I didn't replace my finderscope, I just stuck this on next to it. It's a great time saver. Not having a go-to scope, this makes everything so much easier to find. I am currently working my way through the Messier objects and being able to plonk the scope in the right area immediately and then use the finderscope to locate them precisely is so much simpler for an amateur like me!

I had problems with the starfinder that came with my Celestron Evolution scope. It was fiddly and difficult to align with the scope.

The Telrad is a breath of fresh air. Easy to fit and really quick to align with the scope. Wish I had bought one earlier

This is an excellent Light Weight that fits easily onto my refractor. Although surprisingly large, it is not a problem and I highly recommend it

I’ve only used this device once, but I can already see that it’s going to solve some issues for me. My initial conclusions are very positive

I have two of these one for a CPC8 I use for outreach and the other for my new LX850 12".

I had a problem with getting the base to adhere to the stipple effect OTA on the Meade, so I bought some Gorilla tape...problem solved.
