GoTo - Push-To options

[koputai (Jason)]

Folks,
If you were to take your Newt OTA and put it on an equatorial mount with object finding and tracking, which one of these options would you go for:

1) EQ6 with SkyScan
2) EQ6 with drive, plus Argo-Navis
3) Other EQ mount with drive, plus Argo-Navis

Photography is a thought later down the track, so I guess autoguiding would be a plus for the EQ6 SkyScan option.

Thoughts?

Cheers,
Jason.

Nah - pick (3)

I'm just about to do this with my newly acquired non-Gemini G-11 and Argo. I've used Zane Hammond's equivalent system at his Magellan Observatory and it was a silent pleasure all night long.
