Software Bisque,
I am looking at purchasing SkyX Serious but need information on compatibility with my two mounts. Both are old technology but in excellent condition. I'm not sure SkyX is compatible.
Mount #1,
Losmandy G-11 using digital setting circles, JMI encoders with a Celestron Advanced Astro Master. Non-Go-To. Push to only. From what I have read SkyX is compatible but please confirm.
Mount #2,
Celestron CI-700 with a Ramona Technology GOII (go-to) system.
In the 2001 Ramona instruction manual, it states the system is compatible with "The Sky" but of course that was 2001. Any info on compatibility would be much appreciated.
Info from Ramona manual.
