The OTA is a Celestron 8" Fastar compatible. The Base and Fork arms are the older high performance Beyers Dirve. This drive does a great job of tracking for up to 60 seconds of exposure without a focal reducer. I have added a JMI controller for additional accuracy and autoguiding capabilities. I will split the JMI controller if the initial buyer does not want it included. Contact via e-mail [email protected]. Money Order, certified check, or PayPal are acceptable. Thank you
