Can you plug a Synscan handbox into one to make it goto? What about with EQmod? How do they compare to the original Ioptron cubes? -------------------- Meade LXD75 SN-6AT Stellarvue AT1010 Nighthawk Post Extras:       Doug76 Postmaster Reged: 12/05/07 Posts: 5554 Loc: SE Louisiana, future Texan Re: Multifunction mount/ non goto Teletrack [Re: Siguy]       #3385433 - 10/12/09 02:08 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   I don't think you can do that. but I don't know for sure. Best ask Orion, since they now sell the Goto version. BTW, it's only good for short, light scopes, such as a 90mm Mak or 66mm apo, and the tripod is very shaky. Other than that, it works fine. I had one for a long while, and used my AT66ED on it. At the time it was my traveling rig for the big truck. -------------------- Doug Truckstop Astronomer The Universe, the light of God, in all it's majesty 6 achro refractors, 50mm-150mm 1 apo refractor, 90mm 1 SCT, 8 inch UO Abbe Volcano Tops Faworski Ortho's Panoptic 24mm Carton 100mm f/13 under construction Post Extras:       Pages: 1 Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 8 registered and 6 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
