NEQ6 pro belt mod

[wigggyy]

Does anyone know if there is anyone who does the belt mod on the NEQ6 as I am not confident in doing it myself the only one I knew in Ipswich is no longer doing them as he has injured his hands and can no longer do this work any help would be appreciated

I have to say, I approached the belt-mod with some reservations myself, however it wasn't nearly as complex as I feared.

I dare say you have seen the Astrobaby guide? Without this I doubt I would have attempted this myself and as long as you follow it carefully you should be able to do it. Sadly the original site seems to have been taken down for now, but the guide is still available here;

You do need some time to carryout the work yourself and I can understand that its not everyone's cupa tea. The Dark Frame service does look good and I guess if it had been available at the time and I had the money I may well have used it as it includes more than just the belt mod. Stripping your mount does however teach you how the thing works and I found that useful.

Good luck whichever route you take...
