Skywatcher NEQ3 Computerised GoTo mount

[steve_bham]

Does anyone know if the NEQ3 mount has the same noise level as the HEQ5. Ive heard the HEQ5 in operation and is really quiet just wondered if the NEQ3 would be the same?

I have converted my CG4/EQ3-2 to goto. In RA tracking the mount is as quiet as the HEQ5 Pro (I assume you mean the HEQ5 Pro goto mount). In high speed slewing probably only slightly louder as the motors are not contained within the mount. But I wouldn't call it noisy.
