Push to Dob?

[jimieee]

Hi,

I was at a star party recently, where someone was telling me about push to finders.

I'm thinking about investigating them, but I'm not really sure where to buy one.

So far I've only found Astro-Fix devices. Are there any others available?

I'd like to compare a few - if possible.

Thanks,

James

The Orion (USA) dobs have an option called Intelliscope which is a "push to" system. It has a very good reputation

Their optics and tubes are actually made by Synta who make Skywatcher scopes.

I don't think it can be retro-fitted though, as I see you already have a 10" dob.

I believe Argo Navis system can be fitted to most scope types:
