Argo Navis for EM-200

[Hans Tucker]

I am about to pickup an EM-200 ESD II Mount for a rather cheap price but I noted that Takahashi no longer has a Temma conversion kit available for the USD mounts...soooo..I am looking towards the Argo Navis kit to semi computerise the mount.

Good idea? Bad idea? :question: Thoughts anyone

Hi Hans,

Thanks for the post and for considering an Argo Navis for your Takahashi.

We do have an encoder kit available for the EM-200.
(I think you probably meant to type model USD II rather than ESD II.)

Please see http://www.wildcard-innovations.com.au/kits/pn-t200-spec_describe.html
Please see here for a scanned image of the installation drawing -

Argo Navis has a built in feature called TPAS - Telescope Pointing Analysis System -
that can be used to analyze and improve the mount's pointing performance and
even report on and assist with its polar alignment.

If you email me at sales@wildcard-innovations.com.au or phone us here
in Sydney on 02 9457 9049 I would be delighted to try and answer any questions
you may have.

Thanks again for the post.
