Shane,

This is entirely up to you. I have a DOB, don't do photography, and don't need tracking or an Argo Navis (which might cost another $1000). I enjoy reading maps and finding my objects by star-hopping. Other people like the convenience of an Argo Navis as it allows them to go through many targets in one session. Personally, I like to linger on an object and just enjoy the find. There is some argument for using an Argo Navis in suburbia where the skyglow makes the search for objects a lot more difficult.

Regards, Rob
