Christmas night we had the smoke blow away for the most part so I was able to test the belt drive out.
first thing is the noise. you really don't realise how loud the stock metal spur gears are..
the goto is 100% unaffected. if anything its even more accurate after a single 2 star alignment..
obviously the backlash has been seriously reduced. still some there but its a lot better. I notice when centering a star it is more spritely changing directions in dec.
all in all cost about 100 aussie bucks.
tonight is looking superb. the smoke has blown off to the southwest and looking at a nice clear night for the first time in a while
