Repair/Strip down of EQ3-2 Mount.

[Stargazer33]

Hi,

Does anyone know of an on-line resource where I can get information about stripping down and refurbishing/re-greasing a Skywatcher EQ3-2 mount?

After repairing the washing machine, as there is nothing else to do with all this damn rain, I would relish a nice project to keep me busy!

Thanks in advance.

There is a guide for the EQ5 here: Astronomy Boy: CG-5 Mount Improvements Not quite the same as your mount but it should get you going in the right direction.

There have been various threads on SGL. Here is one I found when I 'googled..stripdown eq3'.

Hi Guys!

Thanks for those links.

Looks a bit more involved than I first thought but I still might have a go if we get another w/e like this one!

Hi Bryan,

I found this a useful site.

That's a pretty concise article Neil.

I like lots of pictures when I'm trying to follow instructions!

Thanks for the heads up.
