Does this unit work with the mount comes with Twin Star 6" short tube telescope?

I also use Celestron CG4 mount with this motor, so I wouldn't know if it will work with any other mounts.

I seriously doubt this would work. This drive is designed to fit the Celestron EQ-4 mount, which has appropriate attachment points and internal gears.

It will work on any scope loaded on a CG-4 equatorial mount. If your mount is a CG-4, it will work; if not, it won't.

I use mine with my Celestron CG4 mount. I recommend contacting the company which supplies the Twin Star 6 and ask them. The good supplier companies are usually very helpful on a question like yours in my experience. Good luck. The unit works well on my CG4. Regards, John L.

Absolutely it can hold an 8" Celestron SCT. I currently am using this mount to use my Meade 10" SCT without problems - I did have to add an additional 17# counter weight to the 10# weight that came with the mount. Just note, you may have to order and add an additional counter weight for an 8" SCT, I would go at least with an additional 10# weight for this telescope (total or 20#s). If you are piggy-backing a tracking camera and an SLR camera, you may need more weight, but don't buy more until you try it. But at least for the 8" Nexstar, add another 10" weight at least. I also believe the dovetail bar on the Nexstar 8SE will fit the mount without problem. My 6SE does.

I have an 8" Celestron SCT and I just removed the stock red-dot finder and screwed the RACI finder into the same screw holes. I'm pretty sure the 6" uses the same red-dot finder so it should fit alright.

The way it is, no. You'll have to add a 3rd party accessory. If this is your primary intention, prefer to buy a telescope.

It should, if it has a 1.25" eyepiece receptical for your eyepiece it should work. U need a computer for the image maker and it's used for stars and planets. If ur gonna use it for deep sky objects you need another item like Orion's deep sky imager which is $400 but this item should work

They should work fine. Theses accessories are for any telescope that uses 1.25 inch diagonals or eyepieces. I've used them on an 8SE and my current Nexstar 11 GPS without issue. The eyepieces aren't of the highest quality but will do for general viewing.

It will work with any standard 1.25 inch eyepiece adapter or focuser, but i second the previous answer regarding tracking. I suggest downloading Stellarium (free planetarium software) and entering your telescope and the sensor specs into the telescopes plugins so you can see what the field of view would be in you 80 mm, and how quickly objects move out of that field of view. If it's too small, and you don't have mount that is tracking the sky, you might end up just being frustrated.

Yes the tripod comes with it. The height with telescope mounted is 48 inches.

It actually fits on the eyepiece, not the scope itself, but yes - I use it with my Orion XT8 on a regular basis.

It should work. I put it on a Celestron 127EQ with minimal mounting space. It appears by photos I have seen of your model telescope that it should mount without a problem. You might want to consider buying a 4" Riser.

No, you can get the same telescope on a tripod, but this set up would mean buying a lot of other pieces and disassembling this mount system. Look at this one instead Orion 9827 AstroView 6 Equatorial Reflector Telescope. Honestly, I would go with an 8".

Yes, it should work. You will, of course, need the 1.25 lens adapter for the telescope: Celestron 93625 Universal 1.25-inch Camera T-Adapter

Im not sure but here is a good location for what it will work with http://www.weaveroptics.com/mountcharts/

Yes it does. We had an old one and used that, but it won't mount without it.

No. It only comes with one 25mm 1.25" Sirius Plössl eyepiece. You have to get the others separately.

Patty,Thank you for your inquiry. This telescope comes with a mount and is not compatible with other mounts. It is designed to sit on the ground and will locate and track objects for you.Sincerely,Orion Customer Service
