There are aftermarket replacement dovetail options like this one:

I think the new eq6 pros also have a larger diameter counterweight bar and an extension bar.

The second and third links are the same mount.
Hi Peter,
Can EQ6 w/o Goto be driven by computer i.e. any planetarium software or EQMOD? If yes, what cable is needed to connect it with PC's USB? Is there any difference in Payload capacity between EQ6 and NEQ6 Pro? According to astroshop.com.au they both have carrying capacity of 25kg. Then why is that price difference? Only for SynScan controller?
