I’m pretty sure the smarts are in the hand controller. There’s a serial port at the bottom of the controller—is it broken completely, or it is just the buttons/display? If it’s something non-critical, you might be able to hook into the serial port. Good luck! Dan -- Daniel Holmes, danielh@holmesonics.com "Laugh while you can, monkey boy!" -- Lord John Whorfin

Recently the hand controller took some damage and is no longer operational. Does anyone know of a way to calibrate a Celestron CGEM without a nexstar+ hand controller? Is it possible to hook a laptop directly up to it to calibrate and slew?
Thanks for your suggestions.
