Argo-Navis

After fitting a pair of optical encoders to your mount, using the Argo Navis™ is simple. Perform a quick two star alignment and off you go. No need to level your mount. It's fast and easy.

As you move your scope, objects of interest are reported to you on the display in real-time. Argo Navis™ has a powerful 32 bit CPU at its heart that will easily allow you to continuously track satellites. The sophisticated software even accounts for precession and atmospheric refraction.

A battery backed real-time clock provides local time, UTC time, Julian date and sidereal time. There's even a stopwatch facility for timing astrophotography exposures and a built-in audible event alarm.

Using the innovative Intelligent Editing System™, objects can be accessed quickly and easily by name without the need for a cumbersome keypad - even while wearing gloves!

You'll appreciate the dimmable red liquid crystal display carefully designed to preserve your night vision.

The Argo Navis™ is a 'must-have' accessory for all observers. It offers many more features than conventional Digital Setting Circle (DSC) devices.

The full system requires the Argo Navis™ Digital Telescope Computer unit, Optical Encoder (High Resolution 10,000 step recommended), 2.6m Encoder Cable, 2.6m External DC Power Cable, Serial Port Communications Cable and Mounting Hardware to suit your telescope. Wildcard has mounting hardware available to suit almost any telescope mount.
