Thanks everyone for the advice on selecting Digital setting circles. Sounds like Sky Commander is going to be my choice. Now I would like to ask if anyone has experience installing
Sky Commander on an older (1980s) Celestron fork mounted C14? In particular the mechanical stuff.
Thanks!

Sky Engineering, the maker of Sky Commander, does not manufacture an encoder kit for anything but dobs. Unless you can find a used kit for the Celestron Advanced Astromaster DSCs, your best bet may be to get the encoder and cable kit from JMI, and then buy the Sky Commander module alone. The JMI encoders and cables are compatable with the Sky Commander and they come with pretty easy to read instructions...at least, the ones for my G11 were pretty clear.
