That's a great idea. I'm not using printed charts but may be at some time soon. Getting a bit tired of dragging out the laptop each clear night!

Binoculars are also a big, big help with observing done from a light polluted site as they show stars otherwise washed out by the light pollution, making star hoping much, much easier.

Thanks for the help/advice.

Cheers,
