Peter- would love to know how the upgrade works out for you once you’ve had the chance to test it all out. My eq8 is over 20yrs old now and could do with a service but it’s been in the too-hard basket for me. I’m still getting decent guiding but I’m certain it would benefit my imaging to have something like that!

I second what Dave has asked
My EQ8-R pro is only 4 years old and even though I’m mechanically apt , I haven’t been confident to mess with the worm adjustments as so many folk on CN and SGL have fiddled with their EQ8 and EQ8-R mounts and ended up with worse guiding.
Mine guides around 0.60 to 0.70 average which is quite poor for this calibre of mount ( my EQ6-R guides at 0.40 to 0.50 after a basic tune ) .I do visit the EQ8 Google Groups and Tony Owen’s to check on Shibumi upgrades , not cheap but early reports are positive
Thanks
Martin
