Hi, The dimming down option has been much discussed on various boards of late. It seems though (to the best of my knowledge) that it only works on the Orion versions of the mount - not the SkyWatcher versions.

Whether thats down to different hardware, software or a combination of the two no one seems to know. I have version 3.25 with an HEQ5 and its not on that. I am told the control board is identical.

If you wanted to dim the LED a 1k pot in line with its postive lead should do it but I'd be wary of mods. The latest Sky-Watcher EQ6s that are in the UK seem to have an adjuster built in at the factory. I'm kind of supised the NEQ6 which is more recent doesnt have it.
