auto dob to goto?

[bcfcciderhead]

Can the auto dobs (skyliner-200p flextube auto) be turned into a goto by replacing the supatrak hand set with a goto v3 hand set?

This is all i done with my 130P supatrak scope and as both are ALT/AZ can't see why not, but thought i'l ask you clever guys just to make sure before i go and splash out £499.

Hi, have a look at this thread http://stargazerslounge.com/equipment-discussion/143352-skywatcher-dob-auto-goto-conversion.html

I think it's what you're requesting?

Yes - you can get the AZ Goto handset for it - I did this myself with the 300P flextube - the handsets are interchangeable

Thanks guys, like i said all i done was buy a goto handset flashed it to the latest AZ firmware and used it instead of the supatrak handset on my 130P, i guess this is all i'm doing with the dob as they work in much the same way.

What i'm looking to do is sell my dob and put the money towards the auto model, ditch the supatrak handset and use my goto handset on the dob...simples!
