Hi. I hope I'm going about this the right way. I was given a 4" and an 8" celestron reflectors, but no tripod. Is this a suitable tripod for these telescopes? If so I would like to look at purchasing it. Am I going about this the right way?

4 inch would be perfect for this mount
8 inch reflector is pushing the weight limits, it would make it wobbly unless perfectly balanced

Can you use the synscan controller if you already have one or is it totally manual movement?

Hi Chris,
Sorry for the late reply.
This is totally manual.
Cheers,
Q
