After taking my 8" dob out to a golf course about 20km from Brisbane, and having a whale of a time, I find the skies at home (about 3km from the CBD) just too hard for my rudimentary star hopping.
Getting back out to the golf course takes some planning with a 10 and 6-year old, so I was hoping there might be something I could do with the park over the road.
At the moment I can't afford an Argo Navis
(saving for a house), but I was wondering if there is a stop-gap solution using the argo encoders and some software (stellarium?) with a laptop until I can slip the Argo computer onto the eventual mortgage
.
Does anyone know if this can be done, and if so, any links? I would prefer to use the argo encoders, so that I can upgrade at a later date.
