Was wondering if anyone has any experience with it?

I had a hard time envisaging how these would attach -- the above links to pics from the JMI website may help. Once I have a bit more experience with my Voyager, I may seriously consider trying these. I would want to use the encoders with the SkyCommander computer I already have. -------------------- Skywatcher 10" f/4.7 Newt on Matilda Skywatcher 10" f/4.7 Collapsible Dob Meade 8" SN f/4 Celestron C8 SCT Celestron C6 SCT Skywatcher ED100 Skywatcher ED80 EQ6 Pro "Matilda" AT Voyager Skymaster 15x70 Mallincam HyperColor Plus Post Extras:       Geo557 sage Reged: 10/10/07 Posts: 401 Loc: SE Georgia Re: Encoder Kit for Voyager Mount [Re: dvb]       #2573272 - 08/10/08 10:13 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Thanks for the links to these pictures. Interesting to see this. If they work well with the Voyager, I'll be looking into this also. -------------------- Steve "I'll take Astronomy for $400 please Alex".
