"Red dot finder if you truly don't want to know your way around" - huh? I happen to way-prefer a good quality red dot to fast-slew with than anything else. Both eyes open - so easy and fast to go to a general area of the sky - no less accurate than a laser. It isn't obtrusive like a laser (to imagers especially), but then again they aren't easy to share sky positions with other users on the field either. Lasers are educational - they allow people to share information. They also allow lasy (or is that "lazy"?) people like me to do a quick and dirty polar alignment off someone else who's already done one for the evening (thanks Geoff!!).
