Hi Sean,

Thanks for the post. You might like to email me at sales@wildcard-innovations.com.au

The price you indicated will provide you with an Argo Navis with mounting cradle,
a pair of 10,000 step encoders all the encoder mounting hardware specific to
mounting the encoders on your Sky-Watcher, an encoder cable, the optional
external DC power cable for connection to a sealed -lead acid battery or car battery
and secure delivery to anywhere in Australia. In other words, a complete solution
that will enable you to locate and identify objects.

Argo Navis is completely standalone and does not need a PC or laptop to operate.

The serial communications cable and the USB Serial Adapter are options.
Argo Navis comes with a CDROM which includes a software utility we call
Argonaut. It allows you to upgrade your firmware and to download the
orbital elements of asteroids, comets and satellites. It also gives you
the ability to load into FLASH about 1100 of your own user defined objects at
any one time. That's on top of the in-built approx 30,000 objects already in there.
The serial cable will also allow you to connect with your favourite
planetarium program to get a tracking cursor display. If your PC only
has a USB connector, the USB Serial Adapter works in conjunction with
the serial cable.

Best Regards
