Harry85 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Hi all, Bought my first telescope 3 weeks ago celestron 114eq then last week upgraded to skywatcher 150p on a eq 3-2 mount, now I'm looking at upgrading the mount to a eq5 goto, my question is should I save for the eq 5 goto or just get the eq5 sooner then get the goto upgrade kit later, are the eq 5 goto and eq5 goto upgrade kit the same?do you end up with the same mount at the end of the upgrade or is it slightly diffrent? Cheers Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerf_Caching Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Save for the eq-5 goto right off the bat. When you decide to try to take pictures, a goto eq mount will come in handy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiggy 67 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Wow, you don’t hang around!! 😀 The EQ5 with the upgrade is the same as the EQ5 pro GoTo but be aware that the upgrade kit can be difficult to fit as the instructions are atrocious 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I though they may have been some diffrence I dont mind the fading around with an upgrade, and if it's exactly the same gives me more time to save for the upgrade too thanks for your replys guys much appreciated:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
