Dave, your best shot is on Astromart. (though I did buy a full kit here a couple years ago).

If you want really super performance on a GP, get the Skywatcher EQ5 GOTO upgrade kit. Expensive, but the system coupled with the already superb tolerances of the GP makes for a really fantastic setup.

Do NOT get the iOptron "GOTONova" or whatever they call it conversion - absolute sheer fish excrement! Pathetic plastic moulding, cintered steel wheels (unless they reverted to brass finally), and really poor electronics (the one I had was unusable).

The Vixen Starbook S is fun, and actually pretty good, but nowhere near as good as the Synscan.

Thanks Lewis - I've posted on CN so will add Astromart to the list also

Cheers
