Encoders for Stellarvue M2 mount almost ready

[NGC007]

Hi all,

for those that are interested, Serge from AstroDevices.com has sent me some pics of the encoders he has just finished working on for the Stellarvue M2 mount.  Looks like a very professional job to me and I am looking forward to installing them ASAP.

I intend using them with the NEXUX DSC from Astro Devices but you could use the NEXUS II as well.  I anticipate the encoders will cost around £290 ish here in the UK after taxes etc.  Astrograph.net is the UK distrubuter.  

 

The last image is of my own M2 opened up.  Installation should take 15mins I am assured.

Looks good. I have Nexus DSC, but where in UK can you get an M2?

As you probably live near me your'e welcome to pop over to Wokingham for a butchers at the kit.  I should have it set up in one or two weeks.
