5 of 5 Better than the Rigel QF January 15, 2023
Reviewer: Greg from Phoenix  
The things that make the Telrad better than the Rigel QF are the base and the fact that its parallax free.

The base for the telrad is more stable and doesnt move the finder if you touch it. The rigel was a bit more flimsy which can move the target slightly if you accidently touch the finder. The telrad doesnt have this issue.

Also, the telrad is parallax free which means moving back and forth will not move the bulleyes from the star. Thats a big deal. Both are great finders but the telrad is better and used on custom dobs for those reasons and more.  Per usual, great shipping and information by Don.

Reviewer: chett davidson from lakewood, CA United States  
The Telrad reflex is a tried and true to the visual astronomy community. Customer satisfaction with EyepiecesEtc.com is the best in knowledge, advice, shipping. Mr. Pensack is a great resource and well respected in the industry.

5 of 5 Telrads are awesome!!! August 20, 2021
Reviewer: Ryan Rudolph from Vadito, NM United States  
I purchased the Telrad for my 10" Dob. I personally prefer these to finderscopes, they are easy to align, the adjusting knobs in the back work flawlessly and hold very well. The mounting base comes with two sticky strips for easy mounting however they also have two holes to mount with bolts which is what I ended up doing. I highly recommend this Telrad!

5 of 5 The Universal, Perfect, ESSENTIAL scope sight July 17, 2021
Reviewer: Stephen R. Waldee from Ivins, UT United States  
There really is NO substitute for the Telrad, rather bulky as it may be.  I've tried them all; only this old but venerated product gets everything RIGHT.  I can usually get my scope within just a couple of arcminutes of the target: better than electronic GOTO! The late Steve Kufeld, the designer, was a master observer with big Dobs, and he had that type of scope particularly in mind.  But I also use it on my refractors and SCTs. Forget about cheezy "red dot sights"; they COVER UP your target; have light loss; are impossible to adjust precisely; are mechanically rickety.  The Telrad will help you become a BETTER observer! - S.

4 of 5 great product that needs minor tweaking September 18, 2020
Reviewer: Sherwood Johnson from Gibsonia, PA United States  
Great product, particularly given absence of parallax.  However, if putting a dew hood on it (particularly the one with a mirror for 90* viewing), the hood does not rotate over the peak of the Telrad well, nor does it rotate far enought to completely cover the glass.  I reversed the metal mounts to move the hood pivot point forward a little, used a dremel to create a recess for the screws at the pivot point, and also burred down the rear facing portion of the peak to allow the hood to rotate further forward.  Works like a charm now!

5 of 5 Awesome August 27, 2020
Reviewer: Bruce Marriner from tulsa, OK United States  
Just in a couple days of having this, it's made my observing so much easier.  With just a RACI Finder I struggled to even get lined up on a star to star star hopping from.  Now with the Telrad I can very easily get lined up on a known naked eye object.  If I'm trying to find something hard to see, I can still find a easy object and star hop much more easily.  One of the best additions I've added to my 8" dob.
