Hi, Finding things? I use "Starry Night" on the laptop outside instead of star charts. I have a red celophane filter attached with clips over the screen, as well as the "Red screen" ajustment on the program. I havn't used charts for years. You can download upgrades for comets etc. I use the program to look ahead in time to check planets and their moons positions and to plan and print an obseving session. Also if the timer on the laptop is accurate you can find anything using setting circles and a basic inclinometer on the scope. You can zoom in to set up the view to match the telescope view and even switch the image upside down and mirror.
Good ad for Starry Night? Not cheap but its been great.
Cheers
Geoff
