Tell you what though; why don't you find me a top condition used EQ6, buy it and then I'll swap it with you for my allmost new HEQ5 Pro....!?!

I'll be needing a heavier mount down the track, so here's my offer too good to turn down....!

Cheers, Darryl.
If I find a decent EQ6 I'm keeping it Darryl - commitin' to nuttin'!!!!!!

I neglected to add that I've done the Astroboy improvements to the EQ5 and it runs quite smoothly.
Just wondering if there's a significant improvement (worth the hassle of upgrade!) in the HEQ5's performance in terms of (as you've said) smoother tracking and autoguiding?

Doug
