[Kokatha man]

Thanks muchly fellas - and take both your points re safety/legality. I'll check SA regulations; but if it's the same as Vic then it would seem to me (no lawyer!) that if it's mounted on your scope it aint "hand-held." But will investigate further....

Erck, do you still want that Andrews chesire? Only just saw your additional post re Orion tool but in my "Izeegood or Justarsy" thread I also found I couldn't focus the (non-reflected) crosshair view: but it didn't have any impediment to the process - it was still easy to see when it and everything else were super-imposed/aligned.

Regards, Darryl.
