paracelsus Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I have a Skywatcher 150p which came with a tripod and mount for about £200. I'm not sure what the mount is, and can't find the name anywhere. I think it's likely to be an EQ3 but as I would like to buy a motor drive I thought it would be better to be sure. Is the name somewhere that I haven't found or a way to tell what it is or perhaps I don't need to know ( are motor drives universal?) Thanks in advance.

rowan46 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 the 150 is usually bundled with an eq3 and you will need a an eq3 specific motor for it as the gear ratio is different from an eq5. It's worth while checking please post a pic does it look like this http://www.firstlightoptics.com/skywatcher-mounts/skywatcher-eq3-2-deluxe.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
