I'll effectively have a 16" newtonian, which will drive and track in the same manner as a EQ mount?
This could be an alternative to me buying, say, a C11 SCT?
I'm just trying to get the whole Argo Navis/dobsonian setup right in my head. I've never have a telescope on a drive before, let alone any sort or GoTo-type system.

Hi Stevo,
The Argo Navis won't drive or track the LightBridge, it gives you directions and you have to push it.
The display will have an up/down arrow and a left/right arrow with a number corresponding to how far you need to push the LightBrigde.
The aim is to get the readout to read zero which indicates you're dead centre on your target, hence why it's referred to as a "push-to system" rather than a goto system.
Don't forget that it's not driving the scope though, the encoders are just giving you a real time readout of the scope's position.
In my opinion the Argo Navis is fantastic !
