Alfian Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Just browsing, I've come across this mount setup. http://www.teleskop-express.de/shop/product_info.php/info/p8136_TS-Optics-Equatorial-Mount-EQ4-with-polar-scope-and-tripod.html It is different from the EQ3 in some respects, has a polar scope, supports scopes up to 5kg and at a very keen knock down price, could be right for somebody.

nightfisher Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I wonder if its related to the celestron CG4, looks a good buy for a smaller scope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theodossis Papadopoulos Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Does anyone have any idea if there are R.A and DEC motors for it? Or even a Go-To? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be worth an email to TS Optics. I've always found them helpful and respond quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the TS website the EQ5 dual axis kit isn't compatible with the TS EQ4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theodossis Papadopoulos Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I would be very pleased if its compatible with EQ3-2 skywatcher's Go-To. I will go ahead and send them a message. Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it's been around for a while so the TS Optics deal looks like it's selling off old surplus stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they told me that there are not any drives-GoTo kits available and they recommended me the Skywatcher NEQ-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
