definitely not precession, precession has no noticable effects on DSO since 1900++ till now. Remember, precession has a period of 26 000 years.

they are more likely to suffer from y2k bug than precession. old stuff are hard to maintain in proper condition, u would be lucky if u can find a complete working set of magellan.

Orion has a 50% discount on the intelliscope controller. http://www.telescope.com/shopping/produ ... uctID=7696 If you buy two controllers and mount encoders by yourself, you will get a cheap DSC.
