I have read where individuals have purchased these "non-goto" Sirius mounts and are using EQMod etc..

Somebody somewhere might still have one in stock -- but I doubt it.

Then sell the goto controller. I bought one last year for $600 and sold the controller for $300.

I guess I'll have to wait on a clearance mount Post Extras:       gdd sage Reged: 11/23/05 Re: Orion Sirius - Non-Goto [Re: KWT]       #4426357 - 03/04/11 05:36 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   The www.adorama.com site says they have them, but I would make sure their site is up to date.
