Skywatcher Dobs come both Go To and non Go To, and the upgrade kits
are available, but I've never seen a Go To Bintel Dob.

I'm on a limited budget and a eq mount to hold my huge scope will be very expensive for goto as well I was just wondering if there was upgrades for my style mount I could buy that's a bit better on price. Looks like will be expensive if I want a goto

Not aware of a go to kit for GSO/Bintel scopes but fitted an Argo to my old 12"and worked like a charm.

Also, just to be clear, Argo Navis is not a go to system, rather a push to guidance system, also known as digital setting circles, but a very full featured one

Ok thank you. That leads me to my next question a tracking mount is out of the question for my scope and budget. So now I'm asking what is a good digital setting circle set up that won't cost me an arm and a leg are there any pretty decent ones under $200?
