What is the highest usable latitude for the equatorial wedge? I need one that work as far north as 67 degrees.

According to the marks on the latitude adjustment rod it will go from 25 to 85 degrees in increments of 5. I also checked it against a stand alone angle finder and it seemed pretty close. One note of caution, the area where you would place a separate angle finder ( on top of the battery compartment ) is slightly rounded so you may have to factor that in. Bill

I just turned it on and pressed the minus degrees button until it stopped which was at 39F. The highest is 90F.

The ownership manual says that it will work accurately above 14 degrees Fahrenheit, but to make sure you have fresh batteries anytime the temp is below 32. The manual also says the batteries are good for about 4000 distance measurements (maybe 5000, I forget), and there is a battery meter in the viewfinder.

Hey Buddy, Both of mine worked from over 50 feet away. Depending on the terrain, i usually get anywhere from 25-40 feet all the time. A great buy for the money. I am very pleased. Be safe.

I haven't tried it past about 45 degrees, but it works great on mine at that angle.

Depends on what you mean by "exact." Figure that you will typically have more than ten feet of uncertainty on your current location. Perhaps a lot more. You can enter a lat/long that is within a few feet, and if you know that you can calculate the number fairly easily for 700 feet true north (other directions much more complicated). If you are standing on a spot, and say "mark this," you can use it to move the "destination point" anywhere you want, but it'll not be anything like survey-accurate. You'll have error on starting point, error on direction (+/- one at least degree), an error on distance (I'd assume a minimum of +/- five feet), and an error on current location (again, how far depends on satellites, trees, terrain, etc) of an average of 15+'. If that meets your definition of "exact," they yes. If you need to mark a survey monument for use in a court case, then it's not anywhere close to "exact" enough. Trying to find one that already exists, and you want to minimize your search area, then yes it'll get your sorta-kinda close. Can you clarify what you mean by "exact," and "north" (true vs magnetic)?

No, you cannot. F/2.8 is only available for objects that are far enough. For the closest objects (0.38m) it will be F/5.6.

At absolute most I'd say 35-40 degrees from being a completely flat 180 degrees. I hardly ever find myself actually leaning it that far though.

I'm not sure of your latitude, but mine is about 35 degrees North. To be fair, I probably didn't give the grass seed a fair test. My results were underwhelming. It would be very hard for me to justify further cost on the product. My best results come from using Pennington seed from Lowe's.

Really!? for $100 or so you cannot go wrong---I used this w/o a prb. in the Galapagos, and it was great---- South Pole----cannot comment!

I'm in Canada. The last three weeks we were at -25 C as average. The flashlight and worked perfectly. The light beam at that temperature was very powerful, so in case it wasn't working at 100% (like in summer) I didn't notice any difference... I definitely recommend this flashlight .

Yes, it will work anywhere. The only thing is North on the compass will point South in the down under.

It will depend on how cold the area is and the altitude. The best way is to just try it.

It's a 56 degree wedge, but I use it as my sandwedge and have no problems getting it out..

It only goes to 180 degrees. It works flawlessly though! I've charged it mostly by USB, but I've used the solar charger twice. Seems to work well. At around 75% sunlight, it charged from 40% to 85% in around 2.5 hours. Still very productive for current tech! I'd highly recommend this over other competitors around the same price. For a better model, you could easily spend another $100.

You need to get a wedge from Celestron if you want to do astrophotography. It essentially converts the 8SE mount to an equatorial mount.

Depends how "strong" the sunlight . . . . I have used mine with direct sun on the LCD and it is clearly visible by adjusting the LCD brightness to +5 (use Q menu button then icon on bottom right for screen brightness, adjustable -5 to +5). Having said that I am not sure that would still be the case under mid-day lighting close to the Equator, I was shooting in the UK early morning in May.
