What are the physical dimensions of an NEQ6?

[chaxastro]

I'm about to construct a housing to protect my current EQ head (a Meade LXD55 GEM) from the elements. The EQ head will be fixed to a permanent pier.

At some point in the future I intend to upgrade to an NEQ6 GEM. Rather than have to make another housing, I'd rather build it large enough to start with.

Anyone out there who can tell me the dimensions of an NEQ6Pro? (the attached photo should tell you what I'm looking for).

Thanks in advance...

Chaxastro,

The dimensions are:

A= 650mm

B= 400mm

C= 480mm

Hope this helps.

Practically speaking what is the difference between the EQ6 and NEQ6? Thanks.
