Well it's all installed, apart from the slot issue, which is losmandy, everything went like clockwork.
I must say he instruction manual is surprisingly easy to work through, at a couple hundred pages long I thought eeeeek, but setting location, mount, time and encoder steps was a doddle, just need a bit of clear sky to set the encoder direction, and do a star align and away I go.
Rain predicted tonight and tommorrow
Really looking forward to using the Argo, star hopping will be a thing of the past, and as every Melbourne astro person knows, time under a clear sky is so precious.
Will update once I've had a night under the stars.
