So you get the quasi tracking of a computerised mount without the hassles.
So - no goto but it will learn to track objects via you simply moving the mount yourself and thus mimic your movements when following a target. They are small and portable and gives your AZ mount and whole new lease on life

Hi,
Yes, I've seen them, and they can be fitted to my mount, but then I need a power supply and the "simplicity" of the mount is lost. Plus it requires extra cash!
I've seen a number of reviews saying that Pentax XW and Tele Vue Delos give performance that is close to orthos but with extra field of view and comfort, and I think that's why people pay the big money for those brands, not because of glitzy magazine ads.
