You'll need a pc and an rs232 connection to make a tak mount goto. There is a new handset on the market to enable goto but they are very new. I normally turn mine on holding down the S1 button on the handset to make it track for southern hemisphere then point it at a star, tighten the clutches and then sync the scope in the sky on that star. So long as polar is good and it's level it will put targets on the ccd sensor across the whole sky from there, both side of meridian.
