Found: RA drive + Controller + Battery Case for EQ5

[CoombellKid]

Looking to resurect my old EQ5 for a bit of wide field astrophoto fun.

So anyone with a RA drive + controller or even perhaps a duel drive for
an EQ5 pm me.

Cheers,CS

G'day Rob,
you could what I did. I get a secondhand EQ6 drive-controller-steppers
from who upgraded to a go-to. I payed $60. The EQ6 has a 180:1 worm, yours is a 144. Then ask http://projects.gbdt.com.au/eq6-1/
Darren for a PIC upgrade for about U$20 with pcb and reprogram for a new ratio (you can do that with a pc and parallel port).
As a bonus you have micro-stepping, guide port and go-to
(slow) with a planetary software. Check it out!

Best Regards,
Mick.

Mick,

Sounds great mate! but to much mucking around. Just a simple RA drive
will do. But thanks for your ideas all the same.

Cheers,CS
