Cheap RDF recommendation?

[Ben Ritchie]

I'm looking for a cheap RDF for a long focal-length achromat. Only going to be used for naked-eye planets and double stars, but needs to be easy to use - i.e. not fussy with eye placement etc., and easy to align precisely with the OTA as i'm generally working at ~150x and don't want to swap around eyepieces to find my target.

Must be lightweight/compact too, so not a Telrad or Quikfinder. I was thinking about Baader's SkySurfer III but have no idea what it's like (I have two SkySurfer V's, which I think are great, but a third one is out of the budget).

Any recommendations? Preferably no more than about £30 new/used.

I've 3 of the SkySurfer III and think they are pretty good.

Thanks guys. The BSA looks interesting but is currently 'unavailable', I mentioned the Rigel in my post - bigger than i'd like, really.
