With the new mount I found I really don't need a finder so I removed both the finders I had been using (on a C-14). However, before the new mount, I really liked the old version of the Edmund 8x50 (I don't think they make them anymore). I also like the Telrad. One thing I don't like are right angle finders. I prefer looking straight through so I can be watching through the finder with one eye and looking at the sky with the other. The straight through 6x30 on my C-5 and C-8 is adequate but then I typically only use those scopes at public events where I don't look for many really faint objects. pw Chuck Hards wrote:
