How can I make a cg5 with celestron dual axis motors into a goto. I have seen the modification using the meade motors but I hope not to have to do away with my new celestron motors.
thanks

Hmmmm.... might not be worth the time and effort... (not to mention you could end up being more expensive than a factory GOTO mount...)
Might want to consider selling the CG5 and getting a second hand LXD55 if you really need a GOTO mount...
