Hello All First blog I think Can anyone advise me as to using the Synguider through a Off Axis Guider i will using a Celestron80ed as the image maker and a uprated web cam for the final image via a dell laptop. The mount I will be using is a SkyWatcher EQ5 Pro goto. I live in the centre of a city so the best I can expect is about 2++ on the seeing scale and 3 on the Magnitude scale. as I can remeber crystal radios I used to build them Im not too sure Ive posted this Damn them Dinosours

Many Thanks for the swift reply are you saying that you upgraded or flashed a Skyscan ALT/AZ to GEM configuration ?

Not sure if Im doing this right as this is my first ever post (allowing cat leaves me alone) All I wish to know has anyone succsesfully updated a Alt/Az hand set that is used on the single arm Skywatcher Alt/Az mounts to the Syntrek hand control that is used on the EQ/HEQ/PRO mounts, the reason Ive asked is that I have a 150mm Skywatcher goto but Im considering an upgrade to the HEQ5PRO at £580 is a lot less than the nearly £700 with the Syntrek HC many thanks all Robertt
