Hi Brendan,

Great to hear you have taken up astronomy.

You might be interested to learn that the Argo Navis Digital Telescope Computer (DTC)
is designed and manufactured right here in Australia. There are large numbers
of these installed on Dobs all around the world, ranging in apertures of 6"
to 48".

See http://www.wildcard-innovations.com.au

Some images can be found here -

We also stock an encoder installation kit for the Meade LightBridge 10".
See http://www.wildcard-innovations.com...._describe.html

There is an Argo Navis sticky thread on the Equipment section of this forum here -
