It is possible to connect a GPS- receiver (optional), which allows you to most accurately determine your coordinates, for more accurate guidance
ORION telescopes on Dobson's SkyQuest mount have an Intelliscope system, which significantly reduces the cost of a large aperture reflector with autolocation.
