celestron 8se with skysync gps also starsence camera

[todick]

Hi  set up my telescope 8Se with the starsence  this is working fine

I got hold of a cheap celestron  skysync gps

does any body use these together ?

if so how do I connect the hand set starsence, gps and the starsence camera to the 8se base?

I can get the gps to work on the original nextstar hand set ok so I know the gps works

any help thanks

You need to have a splitter so you can plug both Starsence and the GPS into the single aux port on the scope.

Thanks for the reply just ordered one.

I guess the starsense and the gps both go into the aux together.

Yes, according to what I’ve read that’s all you need to do. Just make sure you don’t plug into the Auto guider port by mistake as that I believe can cause some damage I think to the mount or accessories.
