Re: eq5 pro sync handset compatability
Celestron makes a lot of programming boards for various companies but I have never heard of anyone finding them to be interchangable.
If they were I would have a iOptron

Re: eq5 pro sync handset compatability
Is this not for computer control of a mount though?
