Galileo Electronic finder...

[Caz]

...Well it arrived today, it took 8 days which isn't bad coming from the US. First impressions, small, compact and lightweight. Requires two batteries to project the 3 target circles on a screen. I haven't attached it to the scope yet, I haven't had the chance. I've held it up to the night sky, and you can clearly see the red circles.

I'm hoping that this little gadget is going to help me find those messiers and galaxies that have otherwise evaded me, so look out sky, you hide no more....

But like anything, the proofs in the puddin' ....

*edit* You can adjust the brightness of the target to, so if you are unlucky, like me, to have light polluted skies... :? you have it on the higher setting, and vice versa....
