I put one on my 4" Apo on a alt-az mount. I thought it would be overkill, but after using it for six months, I can say it's brilliant. It is so easy to set up and align, and stays bang on target all night (that's more a factor of my mount/encoder installation).

I estimate I observe twice as many objects per session now - the hunt from suburban skies with so few reference stars is much simpler.

I only wish there was some sort of session capture, so you could go back and review your objects observed at the end of a session. That's nitpicking though - it's a fantastic device.
