kilty74 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Hi everyone could you add goto to this mount if so how and at what cost many thanks Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornelius Varley Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 It should be possible. The upgrade kit costs about £300, there is a thread somewhere on the site showing how to do the upgrade. The instruction manual for the upgrade is also available for the Skywatcher website.Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astromartian Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Seems pointless buying the iOptron if the Skywatcher upgrade is the same price, unless its much better.Are the motors much stronger or handset better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
