Steve,
Congratulation! Wish local shops match Andrews prices

I hear people say that it's no way to learn the sky - you should learn to star hop. I agree to an extent, but there's plenty of time for that. But for the majority of casual observers, there just isn't the time. You might get a clear night, free from other commitments, once every week or two if you're lucky. Being able to just set up and find objects easily gets you more time at the eyepiece. This means less frustration, more wow factor, and more people hooked on the night sky. Too many people with telescopes only ever see the moon and a few planets/nebulas.

Couldn't agree more mate! Since I installed Ek Box on my Bintel 12" I make good use of rare time I have for star gazing.
cheers
