Will you guys do an encoder installation guide as well?

Brilliant motor kit and a very clear and concise installation video. The AZ100 compares to Astro-Physics quality and workmanship for an alt Az mount

Hi, looking at your web site, I see you manufacture other components for the NEQ6. Do you manufacture NEQ6 pier mounting plates at all?

Hello Vince, At the moment we don't produce pier adaptor plates, but it's some thing we may look at adding to our website in the future. Regard, Dave.

Didn't see the product. Didn't see how to install.

I really think that the instructions are not enough. Please do your official video. This weekend I will mod my eq6 following yoiur instruction but also Kari Brown's videos to anticipate some possible issues not included in the instructions.

Could you also please make a video of the tracking noise? My CG-5 ASGT sounds identical to a Meade LX90 8", and I wanted to get an NEQ6 but I have heard a HEQ5 Pro tracking at night and it emits a high pitched whine for the tracking noise that I dislike! Thanks for this video, it is also helpful.

Wow, that's some machine. My original design for a belt mod for the HEQ5 found that the commercially pressed pulleys to maintain the stock ratio were too fragile, so I had to opt for a 4:1 ratio with a 15 tooth pulley. Wish I had one of these machines in my shed.... then i wouldn't of had that problem... mind you I would probably need to take out a mortgage to buy one !!

Hi Malcolm, I've read your write ups on SGL on your belt mods - good work. We make the HEQ5 9t pulleys on this machine too. Machining the whole pulley in one setting means the tooth profile to bore concentricity is excellent which is most important for this application. The machine weighs 6.5 tonnes and has a 20kW main spindle with live tooling to mill and tap etc.. It's nice to work on.. Cheers, Dave.

hi. what spur gear errors does the mount have from the factory ?. cheers,
@RowanAstronomy10 жыл бұрын
Hello. There is a wide variation of gear errors from mount to mount and also depending on when the mount was made. More recent mounts seem better. But generally, typical errors could be 2 arc sec from the motor gear, 5 arc sec from the transfer gear and also another 5 arc sec from the gear on the end of the worm shaft. If you have access to a astro camera or guide camera, you can evaluate your mount by loading a guide log in to PecPrep. eq-mod.sourceforge.net/pecprep/ This program will analyse the data and give a good indication on the periodic error performance of your mount and also where those errors originate. Regards, Rowan Astronomy.

That sounds much better without it sounding like a coffee grinder. This will be on my to do list in the new year :-)
