Re: [APML] Pocono ST4 "flipmate"?

[Herm <hermperez@worldnet.att.net>]

Look thru the archives and read my review. I and two other friends have them and
they are wonderful (if you can spare the added focal path legth)..yes, they have
to be calibrated and its no big deal. I also use my guidescope and flipmate as
finder to starhop and compose the shot. If you shoot from a site with lots of
incidental light, then you should drape a black cloth around the unit while in
use.

Do the calibration in daylight, at home.
