Hi Stevo,
If you email me at
sales@wildcard-innovations.com.au, I certainly
can assist in providing you with pricing on the Argo Navis and LB 16
encoder kit components or you can also visit the purchasing page on our
web site. See
http://www.wildcard-innovations.com.au/purchase.html
Use the Region pull-down and select Australia.

I'd love to hear more stories and opinions on whether someone has already done what I've proposing.

There is also a Argo Navis User's Group forum at
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/argo_navis_dtc

Gary, you mentioned a EQ table on a dobsonian to provide RA tracking. Naturally, this table is adjusted for your latitude (-37 etc...), I assume there is no issues with the primary mirror box "falling" out of the DEC bearing mount at that angle?
|
On an LB 16, that shouldn't be an issue and there are people using these
scopes on platforms.

I will look more in depth at you site, Gary, and the StellarCat products. I might shoot off an email to you when decision day gets closer (hopefully by the end of the year).
|
Feel free to contact us at any time. No obligation to buy, we're here to assist.

I guess the next natural question is, if I have a dodsonian set up with all these extras, I'm pretty right for CCD imaging then?

Absolutely.
