WORST Skywatcher EQ5 PRO

Amazing value for money, mine must be twelve years old. Needs another strip down.

This underlines Peter Drews point though - I really enjoyed the Porta Mount that I used to have my Vixen ED102SS on. The only thing that I changed on it were the slow-motion control knobs which were originally plastic and I replaced them with CNC machined ones.

 

 

@John Can I ask where you got the CNC machined control knobs for your porta mount please?

Thanks,

Chris

Best: my ex-demo ASA DDM60Pro, an awesome mount.

Worst: probably the alt-az that my Dixon's 60mm 'frac came on, swiftly replaced by a simple eq that dad (A toolmaker) knocked up at work. Very closely followed by various home built forks.
