Mom gets a Telrad

I bought a Telrad from Kendrick for Mom for Xmas.



I'm looking forward to using this "zero-power" finder.

• shows three lighted target rings
• the large ring is 4° (about the same area as a finder scope)
• the small inner ring is ½° across (approx. the area seen in the telescope)
• there's a middle circle at 2°
  
• adjustable brightness control
• base mounts onto 'scope without drilling holes (double-sided tape)
  
• main unit unlocks from base for storage
• requires AA batteries
• weights 11 ounces

This is because her 'scope is without a finder. And it seems that finder scopes can be fairly expensive. I was surprised how inexpensive the Telrad is.

And it's real easy to use. Which will be an important feature for Mom.

I confess, it's really a gift to her and me! If I buy an additional mount (only), then I can use it on my 'scope too!
