Reticle

[groberts]

I am considering these two reticles for polar alignment etc:

I'm leaning towards the Orion with the larger FOV and better eye relief, as I wear spectacles but, of course the SW is cheaper and more powerful.  Any comments / advice please.

I'd just get the cheapest possible:

I take my glasses off to use mine. Make sure you turn it off after using it. If you want more precision, just use it with a barlow or powermate.

Do be aware that the higher-powered one's make it more difficult to lock onto the star you are sighting by. I have a 12.5mm one - and it's problematic getting, and keeping, centered on Polaris etal. with my 12" LX90 F/10.

I agree with James - go for the cheapest one you can find.

Clear Skies,
