Split from - Add full goto to your EQ4, EQ5 or GP,SP Mount

Aaron

I would prefer the EQ4 for portability but I would consider anything...My time frame...probably fairly soon...how much are you asking as the EQ4 are only $299 maybe even cheaper if I can swing a deal.

Here you go Paul a piccy of the EQ4.
The mount is an ealier version of the EQ5, the name changed to EQ5 when Synta started using bearings instead of bush's in the mounts.

Hmmm.. thats a bit different to mine David. The RA controls on mine are on the top of the RA axis (see pics @ post two down) whereas on the eq4 pic it shows the RA controls on the bottom.
