It's not an immediate solution, but I believe you can find a replacement hand controller on eBay for very little money, the market seems saturated with them. I bought a couple of the smaller Celestron GoTo mounts on eBay last year, complete with hand controller, for pennies on the dollar. They work well, and the controller seems identical to the one on my own CGEM. On 11/26/15, Jeff Smith <utah-astronomy@unbiasedgeek.com> wrote:
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.
