Hi Bojan,

I have a newish EQ6 (8 months) and with guiding it is great. I have heard though that any mount can be made better and the EQ6 is supposed to perform much better after a re-grease and work on making the worm a bit smoother.

I havnt heard from Alex for a while but he stripped his EQ6 and tried the above. I wouldnt do it coz I am happy with its performance with guiding but from your posts you seem pretty handy so may like to give it a go. If you can find Alex's post egards this there is a good link with step by step photo's from someone who has done it.

I would get the goto version though, i dont think the price differential is that great and in the future if you decide to sell a goto mount is far easier to flog .

Paul
