After my Argo Navis broke down during my last observing session, I investigated what to do to replace my Argo Navis. I contacted Gary of Wildcard Innovations, but the problem was so severe that it was not easy to repair the unit. It was also not so easy to send the Argo Navis back to Australia to have it checked. As the unit was already 15 years old, I think it was the correct time to replace it.
I investigated the digital settings circle options that are available nowadays and found that besides the Argo Navis, the Nexus DSC Pro is another very good option. I was always very happy with my Argo Navis, but the Nexus DSC Pro has some extra advantages, like a much larger database, an integrated GPS, an integrated Wifi module, it is very easy to upgrade the firmware of the device, easy to update the comets database, easy to add observing lists, ... Due to these advantages, I opted to order a Nexus DSC Pro.
The order was placed on Thursday September 9, 2021, and sent on Friday September 10. The package already arrived from Australia on Monday September 13.
