Don't have one - but checked out the product , looks OK.

Is the gearing right (144:1) though ? I see no mention of gearing in the specs for the conversion kit. Their SmartStar PR GOTO EQ MT looks like a CG5 clone.

If you don't mind me asking , what was the quote to get a kit ?

I've an old CG5 that I use as camera platform that I might "upgrade" one day to goto and to do autoguiding.
