114mm telescope

 

4.5 "telescope is even worth looking through?

I was on my way to buy a Skyliner 8 "Dobsonian and was very pleased on all examinations and all those who recommended it. But ... my uncle came to my house and told me that his friend would give me a free telescope. I canceled my order at 8 "Dobsonian telescope and received the free, but made him be a Tasco 114mm diameter = focal length = 900mm coated optical. I havent got see Through this telescope, however, as there has been no clear skies but I wonder if I look through this telescope to be disappointed and become less interested in astronomy. If anyone has had any experience with this telescope or something please answer this question. (Also appreciate if you could name what I see and how much detail I could see) thanks.

Well, ..., Sean're in a kind of pickle, eh? Do you reject the gift from a relative (lower although it may be) or hold the gift of respect for your uncle? That's really the issue here and that's a tough decision. When you live in a contaminated area light more openness is needed not less. I'm afraid I be disappointed in the scope even though it is a gift. By the way, is it a new scope that may be returned or is a has been sitting in a garage unused for years because the owner could not take her out? If the former, then no return problem the more scope there is a reason why the scope has been neglected and is about to discover. So the conclusion is, do not think you will happy with the scope and it is best at first to reject the offer and take your lumps with the family in advance rather than grudgingly accepting the scope and frustrated with a lower-quality instrument that will not hold. I feel we are in this situation. Whenever the family is involved is always hard. No matter what the scope you choose. Try challenging the list below. It will give a great first step in using the scope. Note that not all objects are available at this time of year, so you have to plan your observations.

The opening allows me to see distant objects clearly from space, which is under 2k?

$ 2000 Im looking for an 8-inch Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain CPC # Http: / / www.telescopes.com/telescopes/catadioptric-telescopes/celestron8inchcpcschmidtcassegrainwithstarbrightxltcoatings.cfm Telescope tabs I see lots of stars first. Then planets like Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, the works. I want the moon to look great (as much as 2k can get me at least) then I really I want to be able to see some nebulae and clusters species. That's all ... Lol I want to see everything. I also want something portable, I'm a little weak!

Your choice a telescope is good. It is highly valued, it is very portable and has all the opening you need. All that has to offer is a dark sky. A ten-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain not so portable. The weight of scope may make the creation of an enormous thing to do for yourself, and not fall in the price range 2000k <, no without the necessary support, vision and power supply. I use a 10-inch reflector on a Dobsonian mount observation, and an 8-inch reflector on an equatorial mount for imaging. The image of Saturn that I use is mine that I captured with my 8 "and a webcam. I recommend to stay in the 8" range. You'll find hour after hour of enjoyment from it.

Telescopic view additional relief visual long

An achromatic lens sight, commonly called a scope, is an optical device used to achieve additional accuracy using a focus of firearms, pistols air and crossbows. Other targeting systems are iron sights, sights reflex, and experiments sights.The laser focused on giving first aid shooters optical dating back to the 17th century. For centuries, various optical aids and primitive predecessors of telescopic objective points of interest were created there were limitations practices or performance. The first apochromatic refractor based telescopic sight was built in 1880 by August Fiedler (Stronsdorf, Austria), forest inspector of Prince Reuss. Telescopic view additional relief visual long are available for the pistol and rifle use scout. A historical example of a scope with long eye relief is German ZF41 that was used during the Second 98k World War musket rifles.

Telescopic sights are classified according to optical magnification and the diameter of the target, for example, 10 × 50. This increases denote 10 times with a 50 mm lens objective. In general, large objective lens diameter, due to its ability to raise large amounts light, provide a larger exit pupil and hence provide a brighter image in the eyepiece. The attractions of the fixed magnification power and diameter enlargement objective should be chosen based on the intended use.

There are also attractions apochromatic telescope with variable magnification. The increase can vary manually operating a zoom mechanism. variable sites offer more flexibility in shooting at different ranges, the objectives and conditions light and offer a wide field of view in relation to low magnification settings. The syntax of variable sites is as follows: increase minimum - maximum x increase the objective lens, for example, 3.9 × 40.

Confusingly, some older telescopic sights, mainly of German or European manufacture, have a different classification in the second part of the name refers to 'the light gathering power. "In these cases, an increase of 4 × 81 (4 ×) view can be assumed to have an image brighter than 2.5 × 70 view (2.5 × magnification), but the objective lens diameter can not be saved directly related to image brightness, as brightness is affected also by the magnification factor. Normally objective achromatic lenses are smaller attractions that in early modern places in these examples, the 4 × 81 would have a target of about 32 mm in diameter and 2.5 × 70 may be about 25mm.

Compare the role of the objective lens of a telescope with the objective a microscope. In each case, you want a small or large focal length? Why? Where is the object? Where and what type of image is formed? Compare the function of the eye in both instruments. Do you want a small or large focal length? Why? Where is your "thing"?

telescope mount some questions?

I have a Celestron NexStar 130 SLT computerized telescope. What you need to update the forest?

It would not be a high priority for me. I could do some things to improve the rigidity of the saddle, as replacement of thin sheet aluminum legs with feet wood, and hanging a weight from the bottom of the frame. Another simple trick is to hang a small strand of the front of the tube, increasing the mass and the absorption of some vibration. If you ever want to get involved in astrophotography, you may want to update the assembly of a German equatorial mount (ASGT or better), but this will cost over its entire present telescope.

I need help with a telescope ...?

I bought a Celestron PowerSeeker 127eq year old son Christmas present my 8. I did a little research and bought it for has a 127mm lens. But after putting together, it seems very difficult and complicated to find things, I was able to get the moon, however, thats about it. I want my son not to get discouraged, is there anyone who can point me in the right direction: 1) Is this a good telescope 2) how we can find / see planets like Saturn / Jupiter? 3) any other information would be appreciated. Thank you.

Finding the objects is the hardest thing for a beginner to do. You need to know the sky as you know your country. You know that California is west of Florida and Los Angeles is in California because the map says. You need star charts to show the positions of the stars. The stars make patterns called constellations that can become so familiar to you, Arizona and Ohio. Star charts show stars and deep sky objects (nebulae like), but the planets are moving at the constellation of the constellation of all time, so you need a set of tables or a computer program to tell you where they are today. The first source can do for you. In addition, the PowerSeeker has a equatorial mount, which is a confusing way to mount a telescope, if you're new to it (and even if you are not!). Basically the idea is that the polar axis must point to the North Star. Next, the telescope can follow the rising and setting of motion of the sky with the movement around a single axis. But you can also adjust the angle polar axis to be horizontal, allowing the telescope to move in a more natural it seems top-down and left-right kind of way. The manual that comes with it, should help. Subscribe to one of the two journals largest amateur astronomy, "Astronomy" or "Sky and Telescope" or purchase copies at the store or read in the library. "Astronomy" seems the most beginner friendly of them. You can also search the local astronomy club. Members generally I like to teach the newcomers how to do things as a point of a telescope on an equatorial mount. There is much more to astronomy than just looking through the telescope!

teacher's awareness about the availability and use of technology for the visually impaired: a study

Introduction

Advances in technology have significantly influenced the blind and visually impaired individuals. During the past 20 years improvement in the computer has allowed easy access to VI. Today a large percentage of students with VI to spend more than 80% of their school day in general education classroom. Students with visual disabilities very serious may need to learn to read and write using different methods. Braille is a coded system of raised dots on paper, so that each person feels a page text. Braille is the use for different types of reading, such as mathematics, and music. Now you see fewer people in Braille as a method of reading today. The first reason Braille is that the method is slow. According to Tuttle and Ferrell (1995) reported that good Braille reader to achieve a rate of only 100 words per minute. Nolan (1967) found than average high school student who is blind reads even fewer words per minute.

Can you think of another reason, why Braille is less popular today? The first reason is that teachers do not know how to use or teach Braille and the lack of experts. Another reason is that it increases the availability of the tape audio, printing immediately computerized speech translation difficulty of getting the Braille version of the books. Braille literacy has become a focus of a great debate. Advanced technology is a reason for his unpopularity.

VIBUG (Visually Impaired Blind Users Group), the Computer Society Boston is the exchange of information to expand computer literacy among the visually impaired person. Gain access to technology and assistive device designed to minimize the impact of their disability. These technological advances open an exciting new world for people with severe visual impairment.

It is a great contribution Vidyavani section - Advanced Laboratory of Education for the Blind, University Pune, in the field of special education and special VI

Educational aid device

Punani and Rawal (2000) have classified educational assistance device in eight categories. These are as follows .--

1. Braille writer Duplicators
2. Writing device
3. Braille paper
4. Speaking of books and tapes
5. Reading machines
6. Braille computers
7. Mathematical devices
8. Device Geography and Science

In addition there are also devices for children with low vision. Some of these devices are:

Glasses, microscopes, telescopes, hand magnifiers, visors, good contrast, reading the current writing, pens black, exercise book with dark lines, the use of bright colors when necessary, large print books, magnifying glass, computer, etc.

Use technology for the VI

• Students with very serious visual impairment may need to learn to read and write.
• immediate impression computerized voice and voice to print the translation of the document.
• Many students with low vision can read a particular version adapted from the text.
• Greater and easier access to class material for students with severe visual disabilities
• The benefits of improving its ability to listen.
• Independent learning is possible.
• Increase the level of confidence and minimize the effect of disability.
• Enhanced participation in recreational and leisure activities.

The availability of technology and educational assistance devices VI is important for a person is, no doubt, but now the question arises in mind that, what is the duty of the teacher? How do they know about technology? Are you interested in learning about the technology? Will you are aware about the technology or not?

To find this point of view curious researcher took after the study:

Title: -: teacher awareness about the availability and use of technology for the visually impaired: a survey.

• Purpose of the study: - The present study explores teacher awareness about the technology and its use for the VI.
• Objectives: - To understand the technology between the consciousness of VI teacher.
• Delimitation of the study: -

1) This study is limited to technology that is available for VI

2) This study is limited to teachers who teach students with disabilities in primary and secondary.

• Importance of the study: -

1) This study may provide information to teachers in areas VI concerning facilities technology that is useful for VI.

2) The study raises awareness in the VI teacher to understand the technology available to the VI. If teachers know about Technology will try to get the knowledge. Many NGOs can participate in training courses for the master program to give the knowledge of technology. The study can give great contribution to the generation of knowledge and useful for the VI.

• Research method

This is a descriptive research and a survey method was used.

• Population

All teachers who teach in special schools and integrated school established in the district of Pune.

• Sample

23 teachers who teach in elementary and secondary special schools and integrated school were selected.

A purposive sampling method was used.

• Data collection tool and technique

To understand awareness about the technology, the researcher constructed the questionnaire. The researcher uses open and close-ended question to get maximum information from the teacher.

About the Author

Ive got the opportunity to own a Celestron NexStar GT good or a Meade computerized telescope DS 2090 -?

Im new to all this and wondering how best to go for? and none of them good?

I own the NexStar 114GT bought used for $ 100. I have three other fields that all areas are too manual refractor. The 114GT is my least favorite scope. If Polaris is aligned exactly perfect, you can not find anything. Opinions are not clear and eyepieces included are of questionable quality. I only use these eye when my club is going to zoo boo at the zoo on Halloween and I worry about children and their faces painted and makeup to get into the eyepiece. No loss if it falls apart. I only use the nexstar time to time to help find something. Then I use my laser to show exactly where you are pointing the scope but then use one of my manual to look really refracting object. With the function of GT team was very frustrating for first year or so until I learned the tricks of the scope. Learned the hard way I might add. The Meade scope has shown be as it calls into question one of the members of our club as well. If this is your first area, I recommend you get a manual type of scope so that you can learn about the night sky. You will learn nothing is using an electron microscope. The computing environment is not only frustrating that interfaces with a built-in GPS system. These are very expensive. Nice, but very expensive. There are different types of telescopes and they all have some excellent features. Refractors and reflectors, plus Schmidt Cassegrain, refractor APO, Mac-Cass, and more. There are several frames to choose from and over the mountains are so important, if not more important, that the scope is. All the different areas and rides have some features that some people like and dislike. No two eyes are the same and the ideal for a person can be completely wrong for another person. There is no scope that is "better" than other exception areas --- garbage out there that are just a waste of money. Never, ever buy from Walmart, Costco, Target, or any discount store like that. unwanted areas are flooded in the market for those stores. You're buying nothing but bad optics and plastic. If you are new to this, then stay away from anything used from anywhere. If you not know what they are buying and what you are buying is likely to receive from another person --- headache with no warranty either. Buyer beware you know. Some great deals on computers used by people who know how to use and take care settings, are out there, but if you do not know what are doing, you may spend much money on junk. ______________________________________... I recommend: http://oriontelescopes.com/ Orion is best for the value and customer service too. I have 2 of their scopes and I'll just buy them from now. My first area to reach a controlled manual and I am very happy that because forced me to learn where things stand in the night sky. Go-To scopes type can be frustrating. If you have not lined up exactly perfect, they find the targets. If you are a beginner, you will be frustrated unless you spring for a GPS Go-To. An object locator is just that --- will locate objects for you (must be ranked first), but an object locator tracking system is a motor. It will not keep the scope on target. The Orion site has some excellent diagrams and explanations of all kinds of areas and media. Things to consider are size - can the user to lift and transport the scope in the page display easily? Does it fit in your car? If not, then will gather dust in a closet. I recommend a carrying case too so it is protected in storage and transport. Can the viewer reach all the knobs and buttons? I have a long tube large manual refractor and it is very difficult for me to get to the buttons when I said Zenith. I'm not a tall person. Take your time in making your decision. + + + I suggest that you join a local astronomy club or astronomical society before you spend your money on a scope. There are many different types of scopes and what is perfect for one person to another is not perfect. Each has its own set of eyeballs and no two are alike. If you join a club, you can attend some of their star parties and try out the scope to see what works best for you, before buying a scope. Members also can help you when you get your scope and show you how to maximize its new scope and to help teach where are the treasures in heaven are. Most clubs have given broad scope and Libraries can also get more information. Most clubs will have monthly meetings with informative presentations accession given by members and guest speakers. You can really learn a lot from these clubs and a plus is the great new freinds you there too. Some people suggest that binnoculars purchase. Not a bad idea, but do not buy anything less than 10 ... Edit: System cut me off?? .... 10x50 and must also have a tripod or not be happy with their point of view astronomical, since it will be too shakey from your movements. Personally, I prefer a scope to Binos because if binoculars are not properly aligned at the factory, then you get ghosting and distortions that can not be fixed. Most cheap binoculars are not properly aligned. That is not so important for terrestrial viewing but it is a murderer for astronomical viewing. Binos can also be beaten out of alignment and become useless for astronomy. When you buy go Orion and you wont be disappointed. Do not attempt to learn everything at once or is overwhelmed and dejected. I try to learn something new every time I go. stays that way with me and I will not forget. Patience is the key to astronomy. You will need a good success also star. Http: / / www.stellarium.org/ This is the great freeware to download. Tell him where you are and say what you see. Ask a place where something is and I'll show you. I wish you all the best! Enjoy!

I'm buying a telescope, but want a larger goal, what should I buy?

I'm buying the Celestron PowerSeeker 70 EQ Telescope and want to buy a lens that allows me to see detail of the planets and perhaps some deep sky objects like nebulae. What kind of lens should I buy to do this? I am a beginner like me this will be my own personal telescope and have no funds for the telescope that I really like. Can anyone give me some advice on what to buy to enable you see these things. Here's the telescope I am thinking of buying: # Any http://www.telescopes.com/telescopes/refracting-telescopes/celestronpowerseeker70eqtelescope.cfm accessories advice and counseling may help. Thanks!

1) This is a very poor choices for a first telescope. First, its opening is too small: 70 mm will not tell you much of anything.

The 4mm eyepiece supplied with Celestron scope and is on track to increase too much for this size of telescope. In fact, most people almost never use an eyepiece this small. The scope that I mentioned above come with better eye is most appropriate to their size, and do not include useless which makes 3x Barlow Celestron. 4) Here are some websites with good information on beginner's telescopes: http://www.gaherty.ca/tme/TME0702_Buying_a_Telescope.pdf http: / / www.scopereviews.com / Http://observers.org/beginner/jrfbeginner.html begin.html For more advanced information, read Phil Harrington's Star Ware, 4th edition (Wiley).

60mm telescopes are usually the most popular telescopes are buying at this time. Telescope is the most popular size sold, so in the many stores. Many people use their telescopes for terrestrial viewing, which is land just looking at objects. If you are an owner of any 60 mm telescope, please not make the mistake of believing that its scope is seriously not good for astronomy. There are lots of wonderful objects in the night sky that happen to be well within his scope. I will share some that I have found satisfaction through the years.

Surprising objects for 60 mm telescope

Moon

The evident purpose of your telescope is the moon. Actually you can watch hundreds of craters through a telescope if you really use your time to count. You definitely get more pleasure from observing the moon when you look closely details. Try searching craters on craters. That is the real pleasure. Also try to observe the many mountain ranges while watching the moon. Look for the craters most varied and so Plato, Tycho, Copernicus, etc.. Its 60 mm telescope can easily solve these craters in great detail. You can also use a map of the moon to see what other lunar landscapes certainly capture your interest. You can Google "moon" and then click on Google images to begin. You know something about Google Earth? Consider Google Moon ... you'll find it just unbelievable.

Planets

There are several planets that could easily surprise you to see through his telescope. To begin ... Jupiter. Even with a compact 60mm telescope, you may see at least 2 or 3 red cloud belts on Jupiter. In addition, you will be able to observe four of much of Jupiter's largest moons (Jupiter has 63 moons) with names of four sons of Galileo Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. If you see more than one course of a few days, you can observe the changes of position around Jupiter as they continue their orbit. With a high power eyepiece well, actually you can see a solar eclipse on Jupiter from time to time.

The Saturn is also a treasure to pay. My first telescope was a refractor of 50 mm of the top table, my dad and my mom decided to buy for me Kmart in the seventies. The first planet seen through this area, turned out to be Saturn. Ten years ago, I was just in awe. You will with your 60mm. It is possible to see the rings, the Cassini division with a piece of high eye power. largest of Saturn's moon Titan, is also visible. It is larger in comparison with our own moon and the planets Mercury and Pluto.

Mars and Venus will also be in reach of your telescope 60 mm. However, there is much less important details to see when compared with Jupiter and Saturn. The reason is all but closer than the other planets are also very small. With Mars, which could possibly see that it's ice caps in perfect viewing conditions. With Venus, all I can see is that the moon, the phases and surface features not for the reason that it is the entire surface is covered with soft clouds.

Stars and Stars

In fact, there is much to see the stars with his 60mm. They all appear in various formats so to speak. Individual stars, double stars like Albireo in the constellation Cygnus. Several of the brightest globular clusters M4, M13 and M22, The Pleiades open clusters and a galaxy or two as well Andromeda with a range of a telescope of 60 mm. Of course, to enjoy these jewels night you have to place first. There is a free program for your computer that is simply amazing to learn their way into the night sky. The name of the program is Stellarium. Just Google and head to their website and install it. Once installed, only have to type your location and the program will display the sky for your area and time of day.

My suggestion for a telescope of 60 mm

I personally recommend the Celestron NexStar 60GT 60mm Go-To Refractor Telescope. If you are in a hurry to enjoy the night sky without having to learn the star maps, this is really the telescope for you. It will target more than 4,000 celestial objects for you using the push of a button.

Fabian Barajas has enjoyed astronomy as his hobby for over 30 years. He has owned many telescopes and loves to share his knowledge of the skies with others. He has owed 30, 50, 60, and 80mm refractors as well as 8 and 12 inch Dobsonians.

Meade ETX-80AT-TC Vs Celestron NexStar SE Telescope 4 or 6?

hi I'm ready to buy my first telescope. I need advice from someone who knows what What are you talking about one of the three telescopes is better value for money? Meade ETX-80AT-TC $ 249 Celestron NexStar 4 SE for $ 499 Celestron NexStar 6 SE $ 999

Are you going to do astrophotography? If not, you can get an excellent 10 "Dob Newton pipe locator equipment that fits in your car and provides in 3 minutes for $ 700. I'd rather have that than a 6-inch SCT for visual observation. 3 minutes is much faster than 15 years. You can spend the other $ 300 in accessories - An oxygen filter 3, a variable polarizing filter, a bag, a high-end low-power wide field eyepiece, and so on. The design SCT is compact and has a track ride, but I would not use a mounting arm for photography. Experts strongly recommend a sturdy German equatorial mount for photography. Moreover, as a 10 "baby can fit in your car, there's not much sense in going with a 6" compact design. The main advantage for the ETX-80 is extreme portability. One of the boys in the club has one, and carries with him on his motorcycle. But things took your laptop truck. I largely agree with Larry, that openness rules. But I disagree that you get what you pay for. I mean, you can get something, but it helps to know what you're getting. You may not want same. The NexStar 6 gives a range of monitoring the visual work of $ 1,000, when you get the same opening, the computer, but without follow-up on a date of birth of $ 400. That is $ 600 for tracking. In my experience, I do not miss it. You can get an 8-inch monitor for the range of less than $ 600 in Newton. The agreement is that SCT design is much more expensive to build than the simplest of Newton design. But there is an additional element in the SCT optics - the corrector plate, and then one more difficult to make secondary mirror. So it's more expensive, but does not buy you much in this size. I agree with Lee, get more open - but it gets the computer. You we really have to be in the thrill of the hunt to do without him. I know people who are. But the computer xt10i has taught me a lot about the sky in a completely painless. You do not have to use it. And now I know that my favorite objects are often do not. But it is very useful, and I did not beat me if I can not find anything without it.

Movements in the year, like the night sky. In the northern hemisphere, deep sky objects of summer begin to show up late at night - favorite of bright stars such as Vega and Arturo Lira ¶ Boa teas make a return from the east, and with them some impressive Messier deep sky objects. A couple of hours comments in late April revealed some real tanks, including M13, M92 y. Far below, should have been able to see M3 in the constellation Canes Venatici, and M57 (the Ring Nebula) in the constellation Lyra, but quite bad light pollution from local industry to my eastern horizon severely restricts observation low for deep sky objects with low surface brightness, such as planetary nebulae, galaxies and star clusters.

I always tend to use one eye 26mm or 20mm initially when viewing deep sky objects, following the successful lining them in my browser. Sometimes, as in the case of M81 (nebula Bode) and M82 (Cigar Galaxy) in Ursa Major, the eye smaller and larger angular field of view allows for some attractive frames sky objects deep together. When it's time for a closer, I can increase the magnification with my Celestron Barlow Lens x2. At my place, with moderate and filter pollution from light no, most deep sky objects, being so weak, not really lead to further increase with a 200 mm reflector opening, except, of course, clusters of bright stars and objects such as M42, the Orion Nebula.

So what my sacking of these two outstanding globular clusters, both of whom appeared x80 impressive increase? Both are the globular clusters. M92 alternative known as NGC 6341 was discovered in 1777 by Johann Elert Bode, and has an apparent magnitude of 6.4 what is one of the most remarkable globular clusters. Charles Messier independently rediscovered and cataloged it on March 18, 1781. It is light 26,700 years distance in the halo of our galaxy, like M13 in the constellation of Hercules.

M92 is visible to the naked eye under very good conditions and a piece either through a telescope or binoculars. It has an approximate mass of 330,000 suns and has an angular size of 14 arc minutes, which surprisingly close to the central regions of the Milky Way at a staggeringt 112 km / sec!

Whether or M92, what about the "pride of Great globular cluster in Hercules, also known as M13 or NGC6205? It is a similar distance of about 25 100 light years, has an apparent magnitude of 5.8, and has an angular size of 20 arc minutes. It was discovered by Edmond Halley in 1714, and is one of the best known globular clusters in the north of the celestial hemisphere. M13 contains several 100,000 stars, and in 1974 was the target of one of the messages Radio One, for any intelligent extraterrestrial races, sent by the large radio telescope in Arecibo.

Both M13 and M92 are jewels in the night sky north, and summer is the time to start making the most of them!

telescope alignment question: with the alignment of a Celestron Ultima 8-inch 'scope, the instructions are vague.?

I can not find Polaris and rough-align the telescope, no problem. But then, when following a star, if I go a little and the star appears to move in the eyepiece, I want to improve the alignment. The instructions say things like "if the object is moving north of the telescope needs to be moved" to the east. Well, does this means "north in the eye? Or does it really mean the north? Does it move the telescope to the real Middle Eastern or east as seen in the eye? The eye of course, reverses east and west, not north to south (it is a Cassegrain telescope). Also, if I train in the telescope, for example, Vega, and set configuration of the circles and then try to go (through the establishment of circles) to another star, of course not (unless the rough alignment was really good). "I can use the amount and direction of error setting circle to help in the lineup? Thanks in advance.

I had a Celestron NexStar 114 GT and it took me almost a year to learn all the peculiarities about adapting to its scope and make it work perfectly for me. You'll have to go through its own series of trial and error period before you can get to know their scope and how to make it work to your confidence. You have the basics down. Now you have to adjust it. This is why those of us who give advice to people new computerized areas never recommend areas first. Most new people do not have the patience to learn the fine tuning.
