I've found another good reflex ("red-dot") type sight that can be used for mounted binoculars and telescopes. Guide Gear Compact Multi-reticle reflex sight, from the Sportsman's Guide, stock #AX6A1-20367, $49.97. http://www.sportsmansguide.com/cb/cb.asp?a=239991 While pricier than the typical red-dot gun sight used for astronomy, it's still only about 1/3 the cost of a TV Starbeam, and only a few dollars more than say, a Telrad or a Quickfinder. As Guy can tell you, reflex gunsights can run into the hundreds of dollars for the high-end models so this one is still considered modestly priced. My first impression out of the box was of quality construction. This unit is anodized metal, not plastic. It is also a bit smaller than the typical reflex sight, yet the viewing window is a large 33mm. It offers 4 different reticle patterns and 4 brightness levels so you should be able to choose a reticle that works well for you. Standard dovetail mount, and rubber window cover. It also comes with a pair of allen wrenches for adjustment purposes, and a cleaning cloth. The reflective coating on the window could be a little more transparent but it shouldn't be too dimming. I hope to try it out on the stars in the next week or two and will report back, as well as post a photo on my Gallery page once I get it mounted. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
