## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there any electronic GO-TO kit available for this scope. I know that you can buy one with go-to, but how about adding it to it?**
A: I'm pretty certain there is no upgrade, but from my personal experience of you want something specific, like a go-to dob, then buy a go-to dob... Don't waste your time or money on one scope if you're already dreaming about the next one!!

**Q: Can this telescope (as-is) see things like the Andromeda galaxy with any detail?**
A: At a dark site andromeda should look stunning and fill the field of view with a low power 35 or 40mm eye piece with this 8" scope. In town with light pollution, it will look like a faint smudge.

**Q: Can I mount a camera to it**
A: No, a dobsonian mount telescope is not well-suited for photography. You need an equatorial mount that can be accurately polar aligned to do photography well.

**Q: Why is this listed at $1049.99 when the same telescope sells on the company website for $699? I also have found other dealers selling it for $699.**
A: The $1049.99 price is for the 12" not the 10."
