How to use Vixen GP with 201XT Autoguider?

Posted By Matt Long

I was wondering if any of the forum users have adapted the Vixen GP dual axis drive controller for use with the Meade 201XT autoguider. I realize that this setup would require the Meade 520 relay, but one would have to modify the hand controller to accept a DB15 connector. Is this possible? I have also heard that one cannot use the Vixen controller for any autoguider setup and that you must use a third party drive corrector. Any user experience or ideas from forum members would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
