Push to's have worked pretty well for my gear - but I've made mine by scribing 360 degree marks on a base and adding an adjustable pointer to the bottom of my mount (diy wooden alt/az mounts). And using either a photocopied protractor on the altitude circles for elevation or one of those electronic altitude gizmos that attach with magnets. Read off the alt/az from Sky safari and manually push the scope - most of the time, the object is in the eyepiece, if not, it's just outside the field. Was cheap and simple to make although a little time consuming. I just need to remember when cleaning the laminate surfaces with isopropyl, don't erase my numbers!!!
