Astro locator for anyone

Interesting and cheap solution for people who do not like DIY, but still want some kind of aid to find their way among stars with acceptable precision for visual...

It looks like there will be more and more gadgets like this in the future

If I still had my Dob, I'd be ordering myself one of these.

Great find and thanks for posting!!
