I do all kind of mirastars. From R tot AZ,BZ,CZ,DZ,EZ,....... When 
the var is in a lonely area I make my own findercharts with Guide. No 
problem at all to find a variable.

Starhopping is much faster. I did own a C11 on a EQ6 GOTO and I 
didn't found my way around anymore. Now I have a 12" dobson and I'm 
much faster in locating the var.

That's a big problem in Belgium. 4 to 6 clear nights a month and not 
about 70 to 100 mirastars observations. But mostly it is only clear 
for one or two hours.





clear skies, Hubert
