I have two but I dont use their facility.
I look at the star chart well before I go out and manually move the scope
I find things rather easily and quicker but thats after many years of not using a goto and playing pool. The first time I sort to observe the ring neb. I point the scope in the direction did not use the finder and yet there it was almost dead center in the field of view.
There are times I cant find something but I enjoy that. .. the hunt and all that.
I am fortunate because I am in a very dark site and always out there.
I do understand it must be handy if you only get out now and then.
