Here is the bottom installation,
The only one that requires any work to be done.
The brackets you see that hold the encoders I made to fit my 10"
so they should fit yours , if not I can make you some if you send me the correct measurements.
The SC runs off a 9V battery and can be run off a 12V
I will also include an older 12V gell cell, this helps as it turns on a heater in the LCD which the 9V does not.
The 12V will run the SC for about 4 months without charging depending on the tempreture where you live, in winter I only get about 2mths between charges.
The Sky Commander has a 4 contact RJ11 connector so it can be connected to the serial port of a personal computer. This allows the Sky Commander to interface seamlessly with several commercially available astronomy programs such as The Sky, Megastar or Guide. Also, SkyView, a shareware DOS program, is available for download from this web site.
This will show where the scope is pointing with a set of cross hairs.
The accrucey is great, I find that doing a realign on a bright star when moving from E to W or N to S helps and only takes a second or two to do. Also you can realign on the objcect which helps keep things accruate.
