I am looking for some insight into Illuminated reticles.
I currently have a 12mm MA Meade illuminated reticle that I am unhappy with. I would like to get a new one, but want to get something I will use for a long time.
I have used the Meade 9mm Plossl but was unable to get it to center.
Here is a list of the ones I could find on the internet.
Rigel PulsGuide with 12mm Crosshair Eyepiece with illuminator
Orion 5mm Ultrascopic™ Illuminated Reticle Eyepiece
Antares 1.25" 10mm Plossl illuminated reticle
Antares 1.25" 12mm Kellner illuminated reticle
Vixen Illuminated Guiding Adapter GA-4 (1-1/4")
(this one is nice, and allows me to use my own eyepieces, but man is it spendy)
Anyone have any opinions on any of these or any other reticles?
Thanks
