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.
