Starmap, DSO map dewshield

What to do when the weather turns bad? Turn your ETX into a mini-Questar by making a starmap dewshield for it. No longer do I have to worry about forgetting my starcharts. The little GOTO has everything I need right there, wrapped around the OTA. Extend the dewshield and I have a map of over 500 double stars listed by their SAO number (Ving take note), extend it further and I have every DSO listed in Hartung that is observable from my latitude.

Jealous?
