C14

Well... owning a LX-200GPS, I can tell you that if you want to move your scope manually, you can, but you would have to "disengage" your drives to do so... therefore you'll lose your GOTO's capabilities...
Either you let the scope do it's thing, or you do it yourself....... to GOTO or not to GOTO... that's the question....


Clear dark skies!

Anyone in South Florida?

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Gilberto, I'm not sure where you are in South Florida...
I live in Coconut Creek, 15 minutes north of Fort Lauderdale...

I used to have a C-8 OTA, which I enjoyed very much.
I sold it not too long ago to upgrade to a 10" LX-200 GPS...

If I could be of any assistance, let me know...

Which one do you prefer?

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Nice pics Tan!

Well, hard to say.... the one to the right seems more "natural", but the one on the left has more detail, thanks to the "sharpen" effect...

Both are nice if you ask me, but if I want to catch every little detail there is, I would probably say the leftmost one... (for "beauty" I would probably choose the rightmost one)

Thanks for sharing!

making cg5 a goto

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
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...
