CurtKinghorn Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I recently bought a C8 telescope and its accompanying mount and drive at an online auction. As I decided to bid on it including looking at the few online pictures provided, I thought the mount was a manual mount and that I would have to update at least the drive and possibly the mount. When I got the scope, I discovered that the drive was actually powered and controlled! But, no control interface came with the scope. The mount and drive appear to be very sturdy and well made. As I looked further, I was surprised that I couldn’t find any indication of who made the drive or any indication of the mount model. I would like to get the interface so I can use the powered drive of the scope and also control it via software. I removed one of the drive modules for the attached pics. Does anyone recognize the maker or model of the mount and drive or have an idea of how I can find out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlit Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 It's not an old EQ4 mount, is all I can say. The finish is similar, but a lot of the moulding and fittings are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
