Additionally,
Once you locate an object, Go-To usually has tracking, to keep it in the eyepiece.
Push To:
Pros:
Less $$$ than GoTo
Less power requirements
Less to go wrong
40,000 items easy to locate in data base (same as GoTo)
Quiet operation (this is important to some)
"Identify" option available
"Night Tour" option available
Cons
More $$$ than manual
Push to scopes include
Orion Intelliscope
Skywatcher,
as well as
Argo Navis system which can be added to any DOB.
From what I hear, Argo is system of choice, especially since it is Aussie made, but adds approx $1,000 to the cost of a manual DOB. However, it seems to have the better pointing accuracy.
