Hello again
This is a "push to" rather than a go to system - same as the Orion XT Intelliscope, so its worth checking out the Orion (Telescope.cpm) web site and review information on the XTi to give you a good idea of how this works. Cloudy Nights has 2 excellent articles on DSCs and Argo Navis (as well as reviews on the XT10) and I relied to some extent on these in making my decision. Ed Ting's review on the XT10 is also worth a look.
I can't tell you yet how well it all works but the CN Argo Navis forum will tell you what current users think. I went this route because I wanted the combination of aperture bang for the buck combined with a guidance system that would tell me what I was looking at (as well as guide me to what I wanted to see - if you get my drift) and the push to system seems to me to give me just that and helps me learn about guiding the scope to points and specific phenomenon in the night sky.
I can't recommend strongly enough that you visit all these sites and the Wildcard site as well as seeking any advice you need through forums. Don't rush into a decision before you have at least 99% of the facts and opinions you need!!! It is amazing how many points arise through this sort of research that you may not even have thought of - certainly worked for me.
Good Luck
