Re: Telrad on GO 28x110 or Fujinon 16x70

Hi Mateyhv,

Welcome to Cloudy Nights!

I've got a Telrad on my telescope, and it's mounted to a base attached with double-sided tape. I can't imagine using it with my Fujinon 16x70's. It's just too big and not the right tool. There are smaller finders for the binoculars and are made to attach by special mounting brackets. Here is Garrett Optical's web page for binocular finders and mounts.

There is probably a way to use it with your bigger binoculars. I've see pictures of the Celestron Sky Scout mounted to large binoculars, so the Telrad would not be that different.

The Telrad's a great finder, very easy to use. There are a lot of innovative people on this forum. If it can be done for your binoculars, someone here will know.

Good Luck!
