This is a EQ5 mount isn't it?

Yep, looking at those advertising shots, definately looks like an EQ3/4 variant. Unfortunately it doesn't necessarily mean that eq3 motor drives will fit it. Why not take your mount into bintel with you and see what they can do for you. Just because you didn't buy it there, doesn't mean they won't help you fit it out if it's possible.

looks the same and that is EQ5.

Looks quite different to me - ra drive box etc.

No doubt they will solve the problem - let us know what fits (or not) with what when they explain it.....

Hi Ezy , what you have there is a made in Taiwan mount which goes by the name "Giant EQ"
They may well be made by GSO but I,m unsure on this.

cheers

if you take a look under accessories you will find the drives for it, they call it the Skyview mount
