Question 1

Does this track automatically and continue moving or do we have to move it? Also how do you calibrate it to the place youre living in i.e. Pakistan?

Accepted Answer

Thank you for your inquiry.  This telescope will automatically find and track celestial objects. There is an alignment process that you go through and it is at that time that you input coordinates for your location.  It can be used just about anywhere in the world.

Question 2

Do you ship to Malaysia?

Accepted Answer

Thank you for your e-mail to Orion.We appreciate your interest in our products and don't like disappointing you. Unfortunately, we do not ship internationally and are, therefore, unable to accommodate your request. We have a number of international dealers that may be able to meet your needs for Orion products. We would be happy to ship in the U.S. or Canada if you are visiting here in the future. We're sorry we can not be more helpful and thank you for thinking of Orion.Sincerely,Orion Customer Servicewww.telescope.com

Question 3

Does the skyview pro 8 goto have dual encoders (to allow for manual scope movement without losing its alignment)?

Accepted Answer

From what I can tell it does not. That is a feature of the StarSeeker IV line of Orion telescope mounts.  Hope that narrows your search a bit.

Question 4

Does anyone know what exact equipment is needed to mount a Sony A-77 camera to take pictures?

Accepted Answer

Dear Sir or Madam:  You will need a 48mm T-ring to attach your camera to the adapter that comes with the SVP 8.
