I have one for this very purpose. Wack it on the back end of the dob, get alt of a target from starry night, raise the scope to the correct pitch and then guess the azi... i know where N, S, E & W are from my site (roughly..) so i can just scan the rough area till i find the target...

Speeds matters up HEAPS.

I may well be posting in here again within the month asking questions on polar/drift align.
