This iOptron® GoToNova®
dual axis GOTO upgrading kit helps
you upgrade your existing German equatorial mount to a computerized mount with GOTO function. This kit is perfect for people who
are interested in Do-It-Yourself (DIY). After simple and easy to follow installation
steps, you will be able to explore the sky with the hand controller (HC). You
can also expand the functionalities by connecting the mount with your laptop
computer.
The GoToNova® dual axis GOTO upgrading kit is available for the EQ5-like
mounts (144 teeth). The kit is compatible with the following mounts: EQ5, Vixen
Great Polaris (GP), Orion SkyView Pro, Celestron CG-5, Meade LDX55/LDX75 and
Astro-5. The kit may also be used on the older Vixen Super Polaris (SP) with
some more modification to the housing.
