GOTO Upgrade kit compatibility query

[AbhijitJ]

Hi,

I have Bresser EXOS II EQ5 mount with dual motor drive.

Want to upgrade to GOTO + guiding support.

Read many negative reviews about GOTO Upgrade kit given by Bresser.

So wanted to know are there really such issues like incorrect GOTO, loud noise while slewing etc.

If yes, then as an alternative can we use Sky-watcher Synscan GOTO upgrade kit with Bresser EXOS II EQ5 mount?

Will it work?

Thanks!

Hi and welcome to SGL.

I'm not sure but if it was me i would sell yours and buy a new/used EQ5/HEQ5 with GOTO.

There was a Exos 2 with a Synscan system that was sold on ebay (I had been looking into this myself). Besides an Exos 2 has nice all metal bearings on both the RA & DEC axis. So this mount with synscan fitted must be a dream of a setup!
