..........cost me around $70 but I chose (this time) to support local.

Is it any good?........Well, I believe it's as good as the user. I'd previously been battling with accurate alignment even after borrowing an analogue "dial type" inclinometer, the first time I used the new unit was in conjunction with two seperate spirit levels to ensure my tripod was level, ie; I was comfortable that when "zeroed" it was in close agreement with the levels, when I mounted the 'scope I reset the latitude scale according to the inclinometer.........the following two nights were the most succesful I've had using GoTo, etc., so I'm happy.
