To dip a toe into the Astronomical waters I purchased a Celestron Astromaster 130mq over a year ago. Sadly, I've still not managed to point it successfully at anything smaller than the moon. I also now agree with all the reviews that said the finder and mount are below par.
Then I noticed the NexStar 130SLT, which appears to be my scope with a GoTo style mount:

I've also noticed that I can obtain the computerised SLT clever part of the mount from eBay:

Can anyone tell me if it it would likely be possible to mount my scope on this motorised thingy, utilising my existing tripod?
thanks
