PushTo/GoTo system for Dob

Years ago I had an Orion Sky Wizard push to type locator system for my dob reflector. I now have a Zhumell 12 inch and would like to add a push to locator system to it. To my surprise, I haven't been able to find anything on the market. I have seen some posts that indicate that you can mod Orion's current XT system to fit non-Orion Dobs and I have seen posts on the Astro-Fix system.

Any ideas, tips or references would be much appreciated.

Check out Sky Commander and call them. In my case there is only the concern for clearance from the base of the mount to the bottom of the scope tube which may be in need of modification for the installation. Call sky commander and they should be able to give guidance. I rebuilt my scope mount with the proper clearance.

Look under "Guan Sheng Optical GSO" and find if you need mount style A or B (B is the one with the big aluminum knobs on the ALT).

You can use this hardware on the ArgoNavis or any other push/to computer on the market.

I highly recommend the ArgoNavis!
