Re: Goto head replaement

Quote:

My mount head (CGEM) in back at Celestron & I need something to hold my OTA in the air. Ideally that something would bolt onto my tripod and OTA and replace the missing mount head. It dosen't need to 'Goto' or even have any intellegence, just be mechanically there and movable. Does such a thing exist ? What's it called ?




Impossible to tell you without knowing the size of your scope. If a C11 or smaller, a CG5, or a non-go-to CG5, or an EQ4 will work and all are relatively inexpensive. Could you find one without a tripod? Maybe. Only repeated scanning of Astromart will tell for sure.
