Hi--I have C5+ Celestron scope--great optics, but I am getting older, and the setting circles are really slowing me up. Does any one know of a way that I can convert this into a Go-To tpye of scope. I have a C8 GPS ,it really has spoiled me, however it does make life easier. I would still like the use of the setting circles if ths is possible?----Al
The only pracical way to do this is remove the OTA from the fork and put it on a another mount, like a GEM. Converting the fork to go-to would be quite involved, since you'd have to fabricate and install a gear drive for declination. Get a CG5 or an Ioptron mount and keep on truckin' is my opinion.
