Finders on Dobson telescopes

[swamp thing]

I used straight through finders for most of my observing life. My switch to a RACI one is quite recent. I still find myself occasionally moving the scope the wrong way through force of habit   

The reason I switched was mainly comfort. On small to mid sized Dobs it is more comfortable thats for sure.

I could not get on with the straight through finder that came with my scope. I found a Rigel and RACI a good combination.

Hi Steve,

What do you use these days on the big 20", do you use a red dot/telrad or are you straight in with a raci? I expect with a focal length like that there wont be many options to use a low enough power to use the main scope as its own finder.

Hope all is well,

Cheers

Hi Ian

Im good thanks mate, hope you are too

On the 20" I use a Tetrad + RACI finder. Would like a straight through correct image one at some point (when finances allow).
