TeleVue Gibraltar HD 4 encoder retro fit

[Moonlit Knight]

Simple question, as anyone retro fitted an encoder set onto a Gibraltar HD4 or 5? If you have were there any issues doing so and was it a worthwhile upgrade?

That’s more than one question isn’t it!

I have an EMS friend who fitted them on a different (but similar) mount and he said it was straightforward.

I've done them myself on my own Alt-Az : again an easy job.

If its encoders by Astro Devices, it will be a trouble free  job. Serge supplies all the bits and provides easy to follow instructions.

If you are going down the 'Nexus DSC' route, its a very worthwhile upgrade. I can't recommend it enough.
