Fits well on my Skywatcher 305p using a 2-inch riser which I also got from FLO

At the same time I got a Telrad Pulsar Reticle Module which I found was not very easy to fit. The size of the module is greater than the inside width of the Telrad Finder battery box thus making it impossible to fit as the instructions say. This is NOT the fault of FLO and they were very helpful when I commented on the problem. I was able to get round the problem but the finished fit is not as good as I hoped it would be.

Again I must emphasise this is NOT the fault of FLO as the module comes in a sealed package from the original supplier.

My Telrad arrived in good time and was well packaged, thank you. I have not had a chance to use this on a telescope yet, but it seems to be a well respected aiming device and is as described. At first, I was a little worried that mine was not working as I could not see an image of the 'target' but it seems that the brightness is adjustable and is no doubt set up for viewing at night! :0)

I look forward to giving it a proper test. I am also wondering whether I need the optional riser? Perhaps I should have though about that when I ordered it, I would be interested to know what percentage of Telrad owners install the riser.

I've struggled for over a year with a finder scope and navigation around the night sky. This changed when I bought the Telrad Finder. So easy and intuitive to use. Simple set up in minutes and you're up and running. There are a lot of gadgets and gizmos on the market but this really does deliver the goods. I would advise getting the over priced riser base so your chin isn't welded to your telescope in cold weather like last night -6 degC. A very good bit of kit but a huge step up from a red dot finder. This is for star or bright galaxy alignment, it doesn't help with faint objects. Other than that, well worth the money for all the past frustration.

Wonderful item, get one of these if you want easy and quick alignments, particularly when setting up goto scopes, recommend. Fas5 delivery from FLO

I received an 8" Dobsonian at Christmas. An excellent telescope but I couldn't get on with the 9x50 Finderscope. I ordered a Rigel Quikfinder but due to difficulty with stock FLO allowed me to change my order to a Telrad. It arrived the next day - excellent service from FLO. Just WOW. I cannot put into words just how good a Telrad finder is and how easy it has made stargazing. It allowed me to easily find targets in seconds that I just couldn't locate using the finder alone. Now the Finder coupled with the Telrad, what a combination. I can't thank FLO enough for all their help.

I am new to astronomy and have just purchased a 20 cm reflector telescope but had been struggling to find objects in the night sky with the finderscope supplied with the instrument. A friend recommented the telrad as a solution to this issue. The Telrad enables me to line up the telescope with an area of the sky really easily while still waering my glasses, then using the finderscope as needed to tweak the alignment. The adjustable brighness of the red rings is an excellent feature - you can set it at just the right level so that you can still see objects behind the ring pattern without it obscuring them through being too bright.

I ordered the product and it arrived in an excellent and relatively fast pack! Definitely excellent service and an answer available!

Verygood

I have a 10" Newtonian and I found using the packaged finder difficult to use as I had to contort myself to see through the finder and also it was not easy to point the finder at the object I was interested in. I bought the Telrad based on its reviews in the hope that it would be easier to locate objects and that I didn't have to contort myself to see through it. Well, it has exceeded my expectations significantly! Once I had calibrated the Telrad, it was so easy to point at objects and then see the same object in the eyepiece with little adjustment. I also bought the 4" riser which has made using the Telrad much more comfortable.

Bought to replace supplied red dot finder on Orion XT8 and makes a huge difference. Stars easy to see & centre within the circle whereas before they were "somewhere" within a large red dot. Can easily put star or planet back within 6mm eyepiece field of view (20'). Easier to see through as screen a bit higher than original RDF. On first, short, viewing did not dew up when RDF had already done so. Large, but fits neatly to right of finder mount, between it and a secondary mirror bolt. Well pleased with it.
