Thanks to everyone who responded. A search of the newsgroup for
"Telrad" (and the Internet in general) renders countless helpful
hints. Seems that this topic comes up a lot. Sorry for the
redundancy.

The same kind of search for "finder scope" turns up a lot of great
help too. I'm thinking that the ideal setup (based upon what others
are saying) is to have the Telrad for targeting (although it seems
that you can be pretty accurate with this device) and a right angle
finder scope (8x50 or larger) for fine tuning and when light polution
makes it difficult to use the Telrad.

Any other comments (even related to using star hopping techniques in
general) will be most appreciated.

Again, thanks to everyone that posted - including past posts. You
people are great!

Mike
