The OpenAstroExplorer

Hey everyone! New here. I'm posting here about my OpenAstroExplorer, a new portable eq mount in testing from Openastrotech.
The github repo is linked here: https://github.com/OpenAstroTech/OpenAstroExplorer
It's made to be portable (the large ring for ra can be disassembled/reassembled with magnets)
All belt drive on ra, worm/belt on dec
This is my build. It consistently guides < 1 arcsec, and is goto - build cost was ~ 350 aud.
I'm pretty happy with it, what are your thoughts?
