Juwei-17 strain wave mount?

Greetings all,

Have any of you opened your Juwei 17 mounts to look inside at the internals? I’m curious how they compare to the ZWO for build quality on the inside.

Have had a look inside mine, but. can't compare to ZWO as I've not seen inside one of them. My Juwei is neat, well finished and appears very nicely made.

It guides - depending upon seeing at 0.5- 0.8 arc secs rms wiith a 122mm f7 refractor and other bits attached with no counterweight.

cheers

Thanks Mate,

I was watching a thread on another site with a teardown of the AM5N and was wondering if anyone had looked at the build quality inside of the Juwei.

I opened mine to update the firmware as I had to toggle a few switches. It's nicely made that's for sure. I can't compare it with the ZWO version though.
