First Obsession in Singapore?

Here is the place to talk about all those equipment(Telescope, Mounts, Eyepieces, etc...) you have. Not sure which scope/eyepiece is best for you? Trash it out here!

The Argo Navis is DSC (Digital Setting Circles) and it helps to search for objects. There are many modes like tour, identify, by catalog etc. To get to the object, one has to push and there will be azimuth and altitude degrees to the intended object. By pushing the scope until the azimuth and altitude degrees become zero the object would be in the eyepiece assuming if correctly aligned with the 2 stars and vertical reference. It is 'human goto' and does not make 'noise' while moving to the target. Batteries last too.
