Whats this????

[rikroe666]

Hope some one can help, i bought some dual axis motors off ABS a while ago for my cg-4 mount and was told that it was modified to use synscan handset, or i thought he did anyway .

Anyway i only wanted them for tracking so made no difference, but i have now put them back up for sale and someone has emailed me saying  the mod looks like a st4 port?

Cant anyone confirm this before i change my listing please?

This looks exactly like an ST4 mod to me. The handcontroller looks like the original 'dumb' version offering RA and DEC adjustment and although out of view, I am guessing a choice of two slew speeds (probably a maximum of 16x or 8x).

This ST4 port modification is quite common, I have done it myself in the past on an EQ6 mount.

Thanks for the reply Steve

The handcontroller is the original version with just the extra wire coming out.

Better change my add!

Yep - looks like the ST4 port mod from "Shoestringastronomy" to me as well.

Check it here: http://www.store.shoestringastronomy.com/eq_mod.pdf

Yes looks just like that.

I will keep that link incase I want to add an st4 in the future.

Cheers
