   I like to track celestial objects...it's more fun than just 'hunting' around   
   the sky to get something in the eyepiece ;)

   Actually it's Meade's on board AutoStar computer that seems to work when it   
   'feels' like it and doesn't at other times. Meade has failed to stand by   
   their name. I'll try again and if they'll demonstrate Integrity by helping   
   me out, then I'll buy some replacement parts for the scope, a small   
   refractor.
