Optional CN-16 GPS (sold separately)
Use the Power and Accuracy of GPS satellites to align your telescope!
Plug the 16-channel GPS module into your telescope's drive-base port
to link up with, and automatically download information from, one of many global positioning satellites. Controlled with the NexStar computerized hand control, the CN-16 will greatly improve the accuracy of star alignments by locating north and leveling the optical tube with more precision than can be achieved by hand. --jtyl
