thanks for the heads up Ron. should I disregard it completely or just be aware that it's not as accurate as some of the others?

there is a mag 9 or 10 (not sure if they round up or down or at all) dot to the bottom left of the centre of the crosshairs, bearly noticable. Looking on the other charts it should be on the right hand side and not as close to the centre. the map only shows upto mag 10.2 stars.

I might have to obtain deep sky watch as recommended by Dana, actually I won't because its quite similar to the one I have, (I fact it is the one lol) ... I'll take look at some of those books on faint fuzzies for a browse. thanks

matt
