Does anyone know how well a Telrad works on a etx125 ? I am hoping it will.   H.B.

The telrad fits well on the ETX-125 (I have the PE version). I recently bought one but I did not have opportunity to test it yet.

You may want to offset it a bit from dead center, this way if you ever put a camera mount it won't get in the way, they are usually right in center of OTA on rear cell.

Thats what I use. I think the Rigel Quick Finder's size fits the ETX much better.

I have the ETX 90 the Telrad is just TOO big for the scope. I also use a Rigel Quickfinder. Here is a picture:
