My SN-8 is getting a fair amount of use. My polar scope is out of alignment, and I need to tweak it, so my tracking is off...but the Go To's have been amazing. With a rough polar alignment, I use a one - or two- star alignment, and either in or adjacent to the 26 mm eyepiece every time. Even when slewing across 90 degrees of sky!
If I synchronize on a few objects, the Go To's are even better; spot on in a 13 mm eyepiece within about 45 degrees of sky.
Unfortunately, while working on aligning my polar scope, I stripped the heads off the screws....stupid, stupid, stupid. Should have replaced them with longer ones first, now I have to drill.
