Oustanding addition to my Orion 10" Dob
By Herr Kottkamp
In short, if you have an Orion SkyQuest scope, you need this device. It is easy to use, very accurate and immeasurably helpful in locating Messier and deep sky objects that you might not ever find. It is particularly useful in suburban skies like mine, which suffer from moderate light pollution. It allows you to get a quick fix on targets when secondary stars can be difficult to pinpoint as a frame of reference. Well worth the investment.
