I just found this unit for sale at a couple of local astro shops on discount ($ 120). It's called "Astro-Finger", I think it's made by a company called Eastro, but I can't find any info on the net.
Its description has it as a computer locator for an 8''dob.
It comprises of a handset/computer, cables, attachment bolts, setting circles for the tube/base, and a star atlas.
Is anyone familiar with this unit?
Is it a bargain alternative for an Argo-navis (or simular locator), or is it just junk?
I'm thinking of buying it, but I think I should ask for some advice, just so I don't blow 120 buck's (married with kids........you know the rest).
Many Thanks
Anthony
