I like them. I use the laser pointer to get to the general position in the sky, then the finder to get the point accurate in the middle of the scope, using the crosshairs and finally into the eyepiece for that close up view. The crosshairs are pretty thick though and they do cover up the star or planet I am looking for but then then I know its dead centre.
Because the finder is in such an awkward position, I try to use it as little as possible. Of course if something is particularly hard to find, its out with the 15x70 bino's to locate it first.
