Telepod and TV Computer Setting Circles

Does anyone have any experience with the TV digital computer? Does it work? Is it worth the price?

I hate not knowing where I'm pointing and star hopping without a GEM doesn't work for me.

I don't photograph ever, just enjoy the views so drives aren't needed.

Thanks

Hi Scott
Yes the Sky Tour does work. I'm still learning it myself. Last weekend I did some trial and error testing and I have come to the conclusion that it is much more accurate if the tripod is leveled. I just used a bubble compass and set it on base of the yoke frame. After setting up, I could get targets almost centered in the FOV with my TV101 and 7mm Nagler. It does have an Identify function but I haven't got there yet. Is it worth the money, that's your call.
Hope this helps
Buck
