I've just bought StarSense, I have Skyq already. Both appear to work independently of each other - and don't crash etc (on CPC-800 & iPad1) But Skyq doesn't seem to recognise StarSense alignments - and wants to do its own before continuing. I've asked Celestron, but they are not forthcoming.

I don't think so, As far as I know it only runs on Apple mobile products and it's not that good. It's a challenge to set up and the user interface is to be desired. Celestron let this one out prematurely. If you read the reviews they're not favorable. I would go to Southern Stars and take a look at their SkyFi product. I think you might have better luck.

I ordered a SkyScout from Astronomics on April 29. I received an e-mail confirming my order and indicating the order status was "pre-order" and giving me contact information (e-mail address and a phone #). I have not received my SkyScout and as with everyone else I am anxious to start using this incredible tool!!!P. Specht

That looks like a nice telescope! According to the literature, the SkySync GPS works with all nexstar computerized, non-gps telescopes, which should include the 127. You could contact Celestron via their website and ask them, or just order this from Amazon and give it a try. I am sure you can return it if there is a problem.

Works very well in California sunlight. Obviously the sun is very bright compared to the laser but it still does a good job. The green laser reflects well off concrete , wood fences, walls , cars , etc... Not very visible on green grass 8-)

Not very well. If your interested in a daytime laser my suggestion would be buy a green one instead of red.

The software comes on a disk so unless you can find a download version you probably can't use this eyepiece. It may be useable with other 3 rd party software, but I know nothing about that. God luck and clear skies!

Yes...works like a charm! Go to www.030914.MyBaldPhotographer.com and look at the dramatic sky shots I did with the Odin.

I have had mine set up in the house at about 30 ft and they work fine. My Sirt laser pistol will cast a visible beam on the neighbors garage about 300 yards across the park when it is close to dusk. I was assuming that it would work if the beam was visible but I haven't tested that theory. I can't see the visible beam over 30-40 ft outside on a sunny day. I haven't tried the targets outside yet. I will get back to you when I do

QVC has a great laser based unit. But it does not move to give the snowfall effect. It is about $30.00 more. I use both on my home and it looks great. If you do this you will be crowned Christmas King of your neighborhood. Lol

Sure, you can use this one: Orion 53082 StarShoot G3 Deep Space Color Imaging Camera or any other eyepiece camera.

Although I have not asked anyone at Orion, my opinion based on observation of the 2 units is by the time you were to buy everything to retrofit (just about everything but the tube), you would be well to just buy the entire new scope. Check with Orion for the facts.

I have been using the Tamron for astro for a while now. I am very happy with the results. I stop mine down to f8 so it is a little slow but works fine. I wish I could post an image here but do not see a way to do so. Moon shots should be no problem.

All of my Crimson Trace lasergrips use red lasers. They do have green lasers available if you prefer.

Another thought: You may want to consider getting an equatorial wedge for your scope. That converts the alt-azimuth drive to an equatorial drive. Celestron sells one.
