I have a Orion SkyView pro 8 EQ. I am considering adding a Vixen SkySensor 2000 to it to make it a "goto" which I really would like to have. Orion advised it probably would work. Seems like this mount is from Germany and may have some commonality with a CG-5.
If this is true I wonder if I should be concerned about the "grease" issue I hear so much about. But my real question is putting a $1000 goto system on the this orion hardware a miss match in "quality". Do you think I can expect good results from it? If the mount is on a par with the goto system I would invest the money for the long haul. Later maybe use this for a nice refractor.
Comments please
