Celestron GPS w/Sirius or Atlas new
      #3423475 - 11/01/09 10:19 AM

Does anyone know if there is a way to use the Celestron GPS Accessory Kit CN16 with an Orion Sirius or Atlas mount?

Thank you!

NO, it's not possible.

But whats the reason for it, the skywatcher GPS unit is much cheaper though

Thank you. I already own the Celestron version. So I wanted to see if I could use it with my other mounts.

If the celestron gps can be used as normal usb gps device you can connect it to your laptop and then use eqmod.It can use normal gps devices. This is not direct way but it is way to use any gps with skywatcher mount.
