Hi David,

A friend of mine has one and that's how he collimated his scope. (Meade 10" LX200GPS). He was very happy with the results and his images back that up. He put it in a neighbours tree down the road from his house.

I also have one but have not tested it as yet.

You do need some distance to use it, 35 meters ish depending on scope parameters.

I did some reading on the web myself and like all things there are many sides to a topic. Some mentioned that you need a real star, others not.

Good luck.

Cheers,

Damien.
