I have a gm8 with the digital drives, which works really well as a push to and track system. I'm thinking about upgrading to a goto  but the gemini system seems very expensive as an upgrade path. I'm curious to know if anyone has tried fitting a Vixen skysensor 2000 to a gm8. I had one before on an eq5 and really liked it. I know you can program the encoder ratios, so it could potentially work on any mount. The main issue will be mounting the motors.

Alternatively has anyone tried the EQStar system from Ukraine, available on ebay for around £300?

thanks

Stuart
