So how many have taken up using one of these little beasties, and how are you finding them? There's a review in AS&T which is quite praising of them. Is it a good low cost goto, or are there better options for not much more money?
I'd really like an Argo Navis for my 10", but I was thinking of a Cube and a cheapish reflector or refractor to go with it (I only have the one scope!) instead. A few reasons: my dob is not a grab and go.. i.e. can't take it with the family on those trips where dark skies might be on hand. Would also double as the kids' scope (yeah, right
). I thought another use might be to 'help' me locate objects on my dob, but after some thought I realised that just won't work.
I read a thread on here where someone ordered one from China for $200? I realise there are different versions (i.e. with and w/o GPS) but what are current street prices? I don't have AS&T here but I think around $350 for the basic model? With the good Aussie dollar, should I order from O/S?
Sorry about the rambling.
edit: grrrr. bad spelling in the thread title
