Hi Malcolm,
By 'scopes' I believe you are specifically referring to the mount component.
Not at all.
Both the Half Hitch mount and the mounts from Discmounts are designed
to accommodate encoders and both manufacturers offer them as factory
fitted components.
For example, as I mentioned, we have a close working relationship with the
designer of the Discmount, Tom Peters and Discmount and Wildcard Innovations
work together to provide Argo Navis as an accessory to these excellent mounts.
When an order is placed, Tom and I communicate to co-ordinate the delivery
of components.
It is also possible for the the end user to retrofit the encoders to the Discmount
themselves, but most find it more convenient to simply have Tom install them
when the mount is ordered.
Tom Peters and I have met both in Texas and in California and he is a great
guy to deal with and the Discmount is an excellent mount with very smooth
operation.
There are numerous telescope makers who offer Argo Navis as a "tick in the
box" accessory when you order a scope from them. For example, SDM in
Victoria, Obsession Telescopes in Wisconsin and AOK in Switzerland
are good examples -
