Default Upgrade a Classic Orange C8


can the classic C8 be "upgraded"? i'd like to get some new
electronics for it. i need some new toys! that always helps me get
motivated.



Hi:

You dont' spell out exactly what you mean by "upgraded," but if you're talking
about goto, the answer is no. If you're interested in that, you'll have to
remove the tube from the current mount and place the scope on a goto equipped
German mount. You can add digital setting circles and other niceties to your
Orange Tube, however.

Peace,
