Ok so I bought an old style (original US I think) Super C8. Comes with the Greg byers worm gears and the fork mount.
I still have my old old LX 90 8" base and tripod with the GPS etc-I sold the scope.
Is there any reason why I can't find a way to mount the C8 on the old Meade base if mechanically I can attach and align? As long as the tube will fit of course.
I know an engineering type who could machine fixings for me, and from what I remember of the Meade, when aligning it was basically point north, level the tube then find some calibration stars.
Can this be attempted?
Would make an old C8 a gps go to scope!
Objections anyone?
ummmm
graz
