glowjet Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I think you will find that the original concept of the Bhatinov Mask was to help bring a digital or other camera to focus when used on a telescope, either by using the focusing screen or taking a series of exposures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin66 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Just adding a guide port doesn't give GOTO capability.You would need to upgrade the motors/ motherboard etc.Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
