How easy would they be to retrofit to my 18"? It's made by UK scope maker David Lukehurst and is based on the Obsession design.

Hi Faith,
Thanks for the post and greetings to you there in the Isle of Wight.
Great to read you have seen Argo Navis units in action at TSP and in England.
David Lukehurst typically builds his telescopes with encoder installations in mind and
so the encoder installation should be pretty straight forward. If you drop me
an email at
sales@wildcard-innovations.com.au I would be delighted to
open a dialogue and suggest to you the recommended components for a system.
Once again, thanks for the post.
Best Regards
Gary Kopff
