EQ8: Dec binding or total failure?

[Singlin]

Phew!

I still would not pay 4000 euros for the hassle.

1000 more I could get a Mesu

[Dark Matter]

In re to the Mesu, what are Pros and Cons of this ount?

I'm looking at getting another EQ8 or even the Mesu, hence the question.

I've had my for one week and it's packed up....The motors are not responding and does even make the slightest sound of attempts...

We have lots of poxies over here. We call them politicians.

Not the same in QLD since Joe B-P departed

I bought the one I was using here. Pros are that it works every night without fail, never dropping a sub to guiding error. I used to image on it at 2.4 metres, now reduced to a tendem refractor rig at 530mm. Cons are that this version, the Argo Navis, is not 'remote observatory friendly.' This isn't a con for me. I can't fault it.

For an EQ8 opinion- mine is performing well and guides well and as an EQMOD fan it is great -Tony
