Good to know I am not the only one. What I ahve found is that it gives a guide to object that are good targets for an average scope like my 12" in light polluted sky. I use it to select targets and get me in the area, then consult Uranomtria to hone in on them. Uranometria is fantastic, but it has probably 95% of its objects are not reachable except when I can get to a dark sky site, and even then would need a much bigger scope.
