I am also going to be getting an Argo unit soon, hopefully for xmas.
I live in a badly light polluted neighborhood and can only see part of the sky, mostly from East to South..pretty sad really.
I think the best software I've ever used for astronomy is planning software. I bought Astroplanner a few months ago and being able to plan exactly what I want to see, and can see, at certain times of the night and then being able to input that plan into the Argo...it really maximizes my time behind my eyepieces.
I'll be using my argo with a Unistar Deluxe alt/az mount and a C9.25 and really can't wait to get it working.
Unfortunately, here in the Pacific NW USA, we rarely have clear skies from Nov - April so having the planning software and the Argo for those occasional nights will be fantastic...can't wait to get the Argo!
