argo navis

I have one on my 12 inch LB. I can vouch for its amazing accuracy. You just point to 2 stars that you know, click the button, point scope vertically up, click again and then hey presto you can go on a "tour " of the heavens. A couple of weeks ago I actually found more than 20 globular clusters that I never knew existed, and also the Tarantula nebula which the Argo Navis told me where it was. Then after over 1 hour observing, I told it to go to one of the guide stars (Formalhaut) and there it was spot on in the EP Yes very accurate AND made in Australia!!
