I’ve been doing this for a few years now. In fact in won a telescope making award in 2017 at SPSP for a device just like this. My version acted as a finder and clear sky detector too. I’m glad to see someone has come up with the same style of device, o didn’t have time to convert it to a product, and the ROI wasn’t really there in the first place. It’s hard to get an original idea off the ground in Australia let alone the amateur astronomy market.

So good luck to them, but I suspect that they will be undercut by clever makers now that they have shown the idea. That’s why I keep my devices to myself now and up to 3 years (as it would seem) ahead of current tech.
