Well after a non event the first night, last night was fantastic. The Argo Navis (AN) DSC’s worked perfectly.
I spent around 4 hours observing from home. Once I did my initial alignment I had what’s called a warp of 0.1. This is supposed to be very good.

My first object I went to was Jupiter, and there it was in my 12 mm Nagler. Also the same with Venus. One more check to be satisfied, onto M4 spot on!

The biggest reason I purchased the AN system was because I liked the TOUR feature.
So for the next few hours I spent touring around the night sky.
I did a Globular Tour all objects fell in the field of my 12 mm. I put my 31mm
Nagler in and did an Open Cluster tour. This was great. Someone just asked about Naglers. I have the 12 mm & 31 mm these EP’s are just unreal.
I find it to hard to explain to say seeing is believing.

So the AN system was a complete success. I don’t miss my LX200 as much anymore.
