Telrad finder charts. Worth it ?

[PRICEMAN]

Just had my telrad delivered for my dob. Leaflet included about telrad finder charts. I've also read a couple of reviews about how to star hop using the tetrad, eg, two telrads to the right and half a telrad down etc. Anyone know any links, sites or books that has this type of thing documented.

Thanks guys

I found lots of things using the messier telrad charts - in conjunction with a low power, wide angle ep, it makes things really easy to find. i downloaded some and printed and laminated them - highly recommended if you have access to a laminator. can't believe i left them at home last night.

If you download "Cartes du Ceil" (freeware) you can put a Telrad circle wherever you want (and as many as you want!) and print off your own charts for any object that CdeC knows about.

Hi Leigh,

You can put a Telrad target on Stellarium
