Do you know if the Celestron GPS accessory works in conjunction with this since its replacing the handset? I'd like to still be able to use mine along with whatever guider I end up with. I'm still scratching my head for what guiding solution for my CGEM DX, forever having both alignment and tracking issues (eg on the weekend after doing the first two stars for two star alignment the first calibration star it added was Hadar..it put a blank patch of sky into the wide eyepiece on the opposite side of Alpha Centauri to Hadar so AC was the closest bright star).
Really very unsatisfied with this mount, my Celestron 102SLT using its all star alignment works perfect every time. Puts targets into the eyepiece, rarely far from dead center and tracks solidly. A very no-fuss package with no need to both about uneven ground or anything, yet the CGEM DX is very tightly polar aligned, mount platform is perfectly level, mount is accurately angled. For something that is meant to be so much better its so incredibly far off the mark. (Balance and the dodgy factory grease are probably contributing, but I didn't expect it to be this bad).
