pallas15 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Ive set the top of my eq2 mount the opposite way around to the illustrations with the slo mo cable facing towards the front of the scope.The instructions for the skywatcher eq2 shows the slo mo cable facing towards the rear.I set it this way as a preference to where I felt comfortable.I switched round as per the illustrated instructions(sw130)but found it really awkward.Are there any issues that you know of that would cause problems with me having it like i do...cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevdan Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 The slow mo controls will fit either side of the spiggot, you may have to move them from time to time as sometimes they will come into contact with the mount as it is rotated, you certanly will not cause any damage to the mount.Kev.
