I own two EQ6-R mounts for AP , one used in Sydney suburbs ( Bortle 8 ) and one used at my retirement home south coast NSW ( Bortle 3 )
I can’t fault these low end Chinese mounts , they are robust , track and guide beautifully , guiding out of the box at 0.70 to 0.80 arc sec error ( belt driven Dec ) and under $2500 too
My one in Sydney carry’s about 9kg ( 6” f6 newt )
The one at my retirement home carry’s about 15kg ( 8” f5 newt )
The later mount purchased early this year came with the new additional USB connection which is handy for connecting your Ascom planetarium direct ( like Stellarium) No more USB serial FTDI chipset cables
A big thumbs up for the EQ6-R !!!
Cheers
Martin
