Hi,

I'm after an RA motor kit for the EQ5 to add basic tracking only. I don't need dual axis, and I don't really need the drive rate controller, but I expect it is necessary for the motor to function (although it's probably possible to hotwire the motor to run direct off DC).

I'm hoping someone has a motorised CG5 / Vixen / EQ5 laying around in bits, or has a single axis EQ5 which they've upgraded to dual axis (and therefore have a spare motor).

Many thanks,

Paul

For $50 the Jaycar stepper I'm selling may do the job if you only need RA drive.!!??

Thanks - I've gone a different route with a GOTO retrofit.
