The LNT simply levels the OTA and finds north, a job it does reasonably well as long as there are no metal surfaces nearby to distort the earths magnetic field. It also keeps fairly accurate time once set from the handbox. The red dot finder works nicely but is fragile and dews up very quickly. All up LNT/Red dot finder is just another gimmick and I'd rather have mirror lock or some other more useful feature. I'm sure that for the cost of the LNT/Red dot finder they could include an inbuilt dew heater....
