When you experience the iphone - you will turn to the dark side.
Its been fabulous for me - only got it 4 months ago. I used to take out all my star atlases, my laptop, planisphere and other tools, setup and get ready for a good night of stars. Remember my scope is on a dob and I don't use any fancy navigation tools.
Now all I take out is my iphone, my new bunnings pelican lookalike box with all the eyepieces and my scope. I'm ready in about 5 mins. I use Sky Voyager on the iphone if anyone is wondering - absolutely incredible piece of software.
As my colleague goes over to his laptop, looks up an object, goes to his scope finds the general area, goes back to his laptop does another check... I'm usually sitting there looking at it with my scope. Annoys him no end.
Then, I switch to memo mode and record my observation log. Then its onto the next object.
Finally a device that does actually improve efficiency and make life easier.
There is a reason people rave about iphones Norm...
cheers
