The hand controller by the way doesn't come with instructions and it is not intuitive I got frustrated with it and have never used it!
Another complaint is that the battery pack wire developed and/or came with a short in it that I noticed on the third use. I just wiggle it now and wait for red light put lid on check red light to make sure it's on and then get WiFi connected and run the

Since last year, I have also used it with Sky Safari 6 Plus in addition to Stellarium Plus - and I think that SS6+ gives a much better interface.
