Mine wasn't as sophisticated as that - manual control only but I suppose
the flexible hand drives could have been connected to a motor. Newtonian
too. Optics much better than the refractor.

Newtonian. Fairly good optics, but the motor on the mount burned out, so
that it no longer tracks well, making sharp focus difficult.

I had one of those long ago. Had a 3" refractor before it. Never used
them with a camera though. Is yours Newtonian (side view) or Cassegrain
(end view) ? The mirror lenses are Cassegrain. One can use them with an
eyepiece adapter as a telescope (any lens, in fact).

Somewhere, I still have my 6-inch reflector and the bracket that held my
Spotmatic onto the eyepiece. I'll have to break that gear out and see if
it fits the K-5 IIs. <G>

Time for you to buy a telescope you can attach the camera to..... :-)
