Hi,

Similar to my own experience with my AN, and I continue to use it heavily. It is great to hear of your success with it as well.

A few nights ago I found M83 for my first time, and I think I might have missed it but for the AN. It was a big charge.

I like the thought that it is portable to another telescope if I buy one, and the ease with which it translates charts from books and the net to the sky outside.

Cheers
