No.
My scope predates the flip mirrors. I have a slide mirror that I use with my little CCd but it has a SCT thread and this isn't the same thread as the new scope.
As a work around I have a T mount to 1 1/4" adapter that is usually on my guide camera. I can plug that into the back of the scope. This then leaves me with difficulty connecting the guider but I hobbled together an adapter that lets me achieve focus with the guider. It isn't very rigid but will do until I buy a proper adapter for the new scope.
