Hi Luna 2011,
I got rid of the "star finder from my 130eq" almost straight away.
I can honestly say that the Telrad is the best purchase I have made yet, simply fantastic. I also bought a separate base for my 200p dob so that I can swap from scope to scope. Check Rother Valley Optics out, they are the cheapest I could find in the UK.
There is a thread somwhere on here also that shows you how to make your own dew sheild, comes complete with template and full instrctions. I will try and dig out out for you.

Sounds good.
Will start putting something together soon, hopefully before winter comes.

Hi Northcanadian.
This is fantastic. Looks really well built also. I have just asked my dear old dad to help me build an obsy at my dark sky site ( static caravan with a big pitch ). The "clam style" roof looks perfect. Is it a one man job to open? and is it heavy?

Thankyou John. This is great thread for people like me who are still trying to get to grips with things. So much to learn , but who's in a rush.

Im absoloutley loving this website, ive had pleanty of great advice and everyone is dead friendly.
There is no negativity and best of all is how people such as me who are new to the hobby are treated. A lot of forums will talk down to and patronise "newbies" but here its quite the opposite
Couldn't agree more with this. At no point has anyone on this forum ever been disparaging or negative. As beginners to the subject you quite often feel apprehensive about asking what you may consider to be silly or stupid questions. However the enthusiasm and genuine & friendly advice is wonderful and is a credit to all who helped form this site.
It really should be a MUST for all would be Astronomy nuts.
Thanks very much to all who have offered me advice and to all the SGL admin.

Fair comment but the finder supplied in this instance is notoriously poor and can be very frustrating for any budding astronomer.
