Straight through, erect image finders?

[Alan White]

I noted last night that a straight through erect image finder is a real thing, 
not the RACI that I am accustomed to as I thought this was all that was available.

How many of you use the straight through erect image ones?

Any comment as well welcome.

Above about 40 degrees elevation, I can't bend enough to use a straight through finder, so correct image or not, it would be a non-starter for me.  I could see where correct image would be good for the both eyes open method of finding objects.  Stars would move through the viewfinder in the same direction as naked-eye stars during searches.

I believe some members have converted a standard pair of binos into a single unit. AstroBoot sometimes sell single units like the attached but you may require the prism as well

The only finder on my 15" is a Telrad - straight through, erect image

Very good comment and indeed it is, what I refer to is a magnified optical one.

I wondered about erect image optical alongside a Telrad or Rigel, both work the same and look same to the eye for finding.
No poking self in eye with RACI while using EP or Refracator.

Clearly there was one available through William Optics. Don't know whether its still available - http://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/review/finderscopes/william-optics-7x50-straight-through-finderscope

Explore Scientific sells an 8x50 straight through, illuminated, correct image finder scope:

Orion (USA) used to sell a straight through, correct image 6x26 finder scope:

All my optical finders are now RACI types for posture comfort reasons. I've got used to the image presentation now and seem to be able to switch between them and the scope views fairly fluidly.

Opticstar sell a very similar one as well.

I have this marketed as Ascension and neck craning issue aside its by some way the best finder I've used with a very bright image.
