My pole master arrived today.
It appears that there is missing the part that actually goes into the mount.
Could someone post a photo of the piece that "plugs" into the mount please.
I guess I could use the plug that is on the mount to protect the polar scope hole and attach the camera mounting unit to that?
Anyone run into the same problem?
I could fill the polar scope plug with resin and drill it out to take the mount unit I guess.

You can see the fitting that presumably goes onto something like the plug on the left via the little screw on fitting you can see in the middle.

Seems you ordered the wrong mount adaptor Alex. The HEQ5 adaptor looks like this: http://www.qhyccd.com/images/heq5-S.jpg

Scroll to the bottom to see the adaptors: http://www.qhyccd.com/PoleMaster.html

Theo will have the HEQ5 adaptor. It costs $45 by memory

PS: seems you got - by mistake or error - the Smart EQ adaptor. Weird!

Yep definitely the wrong adapter mate
That eq5 adapter also suits the eq3 and eq6
I have it on both my eq3 and eq6 mount, just attach the camera accordingly
