If you like to repair it Stu I tell you to the top back round again take around 20 mins.

I say if you take the top part off and the bent arm the will go back to round as I can not see any dents that will hold it in as it just a bit of work on the top part and repaint.

Are you running by hand set, or to mount with out the hand set.

Blame someone Gina, 3d printer .

my old Heq5 pro mount was very good I could do a 1 shot for 1 hour spot on (on a good day) So may be the nobs I said about was one thing that was a down side and the encoder the way it work just did not like it so sold it . So it work out at £100 a hour and I got to the point trying to set it up as I wanted it to do I pack it up and back in the box for the next 2 years and said I not going use that any more.

I did not like my AZEQ6-GT and sold it after 5 hours of use for 40% of list price.

Yes the 2 locking nobs the wires from the mount when it move round get caught on the inside of the nobs , do that help. Les

The AZEQ6 -GT have 2 nobs one each side and the cables do not run over them I made 2 cones to go over the top .

Somthing like this. I been out of Astro a long time hard to say if this will work work of not.https://www.firstlightoptics.com/all-astro-imaging/sky-watcher-evoguide-50ed-guidescope.html

If you can come up with a drawing I can see what it like in the way of size on the plan as well.

As I see it 2 battery must be the same to set this like 2 gel as you can only put 1 number in , it look for the low battery and send more to the low one I set as 50/50 it spit the solar by 2

There is a free one can not rember the name , it work be you ask then to take photos of what part of the sky and there send you a email of it when done in RGB so you can do the work in your own time to get the end photo.. I did put a link in on here got to be 4 years ago .

Was thinking with today modem technology was there a good way , back in the 80s 9os I was using my old proton detector .

Is there a good way to work this out .?

If I am right is the bar from one of then.

I think I still have 2 eq1 mounts in the shed I go and look on Friday .

Spot on, been there not only a extra weight a long bar as well ,and it will not hold in any wind at all , Heq5 and PDS 250 is a pain you can do with out.

As I do not have a 3d printer, I use a stainless steel thermal flask for the out side and cut down to size.

Sold my one , but firmware is done from the hand set ,and to use with a program plug it in the handset and set up in the hand , The hand set is allway on the mount.

Put a capacitor on it connet to bed you not be asleep for long.⚡

So what time will the sky be crying today Gina

I thinking you going to run shed roof motor from it the relay in the unit will not take a motor.

Don't forget the relay .

The unit have a heater in it so any little drips dry up before it set it off .

I put a tray over the top so the rain run in the tray and drip out over the unit.
