FYI, the United States Power Squadrons no longer requires students to acquire a Rude Star Finder for its classes. It is still taught, but most instructors have gotten their hands on enough to loan to the students of a typical class. (I think I have about a dozen, both 2102-D and 2102-C.) Just like everything else, an computerized star finder is also taught. When it comes to the exam, the Rude or the computer program are both acceptable. I don't think anyone uses the Rude on exams.
