This will replace having to (re)align finderscope from balcony (I live on side of a gully with views) and then moving scope to ground level.
Sounds good to me. I've never had tracking. As long as the Telrad isn't too far out to begin with. And as tweaking only takes a few seconds, goto isn't really gaining you that much.. Unless I'm missing something. As I said, I've never had tracking.
