For those who have purchased a Nexstar 11 GPS and have a difficult time aligning the three mounting holes, I have the answer. I purchased a device called a landing pad. I got it through Anacortes. It is made by Starizona. It has three angled "hands" that automatically guides the scope right down on the center pin. Here is the trick item. When its set down you just rotate the scope about 10 degrees and it drops into 3 detentes. Now your mounting holes are perfectly aligned for the bolts. It took about one minute to install and is made of 1/4 inch anodized aluminum. If you have a Nexstar 11 it is a must have and only costs $49.95!

IMHO it's the best investment you can make for the NS11.
