Argo Navis
I'm interested in getting an Argo Navis at some point (not right now unfortunately - I don't think I'd get away with splashing that cash). I see universally good reports here and elsewhere of both the product and the support.
What I was wondering were three things:
One, how much will my ability to find stuff and navigate the sky suffer as a result of using it? I'm still learning to locate stuff, though I find that with Mag 8 charts I can usually find what I want (even if low mag stuff can take 15 minutes or more of matching views to charts!)?
Tow, more importantly, just how easy are they to set up on the night. When I plonk my dob in the back yard, how much work is the initial aligning etc. before you can start pushing the dob to something?
Finally, how accurate are they with my 10" GSO dob. When I can see a fuzzy through the finder, I can get it in the field of view of a 6 mm eyepiece. If I use the Argo-Navis to point to something I can't easily see in my finder how close will it (realistically and repeatably) align to the center of view in a dob (bearing in mind the speed with which things drift through the higher magnifications)?
