Hi Mick, The EQ6 is driven by the Vixen Skysenser 2000pc.
my impression, just brilliant doesn't get any better than this.
The EQ6 will handle anything, put as much weight on it as you like and it just gets better.I have a C11 and 60mm F7 guide scope, very heavy pan and tilit head, all up about 28kg and around 25kg of counter weights on this setup and it works great.
Synta have recently released there Goto for the EQ6 it's called SkyScan
looks very similar to the Celestron Nextstar hand controller.I have been reading reports from Canada and Europe about just how good there skyscan system is people there are getting 2 and 3 minute unguided shots from this mount with Skyscan and as its about $1000.00 cheaper than the SS2K I think if I was buying now that is the way I would go.
I have to say I was impressed with Tony's L200 tracking, for a fork mount it was excellent although if you have imaging in mind then an EQ mount is the way to go, less hassle with field rotation and such like.

David.
