Tom, While no doubt, your new scope will make set up that much easier, I still recommend that you take the time to learn the sky. Not counting the whole "What do you do when the batteries fail?" scenario, there nothing like looking up and seeing more than points of light. Kind of like flying under a hood. You get where your going, but miss the view.

This thing is amazing. No longer will I have to pester you guys to help me identify stars so that I can align my telescope. This is the perfect thing to help the novice, id the stars. Yea I know, more toys, but I purchased this one 8 months ago, so hopefully it won't effect the weather. If anyone is interested, I will bring it to Friday's meeting.
