Celestron SkyProdigy 130 with Starsense

[RavenGhast]

Hello

I've acquired a Celestron SkyProdigy 130 telescope very cheaply  -  only problem is that it is missing the Starsense Hand Controller

Some questions I have  :-

      1. Can you control the mount / starsense camera without a handset?  (via cable or Wifi?)

      2. Does the Starsense Camera provide Guiding -  or is it for Alignment Only?

      3. If the Starsense camera cannot autoguide the mount  -  would it be possible to add an additional Autoguide Camera/Guidscope?

      4. I do have a Celestron Nexstar Handset (the newer version with USB on the bottom) - I know this is not compatible with Starsense Telescopes,  but could it be used JUST to connect to the mount              via the USB/PC port on the  bottom of it with a PC?  (I already do this with my Nextstar mount and use Skyportal to control it)

Many thanks in advance if anyone can answer my questions

Cheers

Shaun
