NEQ6 Help

[StarDome]

Hi all,

can anyone send me some pictures of the counterweight extention bar (does it come as a seprate peice odr hidden?) and the 2 saddles that the mount is meant to be supplied with.

The two saddle are one to suit 'Skywatcher 75mm' and one to suit 'Skywatcher 45mm' (Losmandy-style and Vixen-style) according to their info

If someone could supply me with some pics that would be great

many thanks

Andy

Hi Andy,

I have this mount but unfortunately I am at work at present and wont be able to supply any photos until tomorrow afternoon as I am away until then. Who did you purchase the mount from? I only ask as mine did not come with any extension bar to the counterweight shaft and only one saddle!

When I bought my NEQ6pro from FLO late last year, there was no extension bar and only the Vixen type saddle plate. They don't seem to be included as standard.

Did you order them as "extras"???

They are apparently now included as standard - see this post: http://stargazerslounge.com/sponsor-announcements-offers/111802-change-skywatcher-eq6-pro-mount-specification.html

Hmmmm

I should have waited a bit long before buying!!!!

Good deal!

Andy - That being the case I'd assume the extension bar and the second saddle puck would be supplied as loose items in the box.

Damn it, how annoying, if I had waited another couple of weeks or so then I would have benefited from this deal as well! Gutted!!!!

Hi there,

thanks for your help everyone, I bought the mount from a friend, he has got an observatory and didnt need the NEQ6. I bought the mount and some extention bars and an extra counterwieght so I can mount 2 refractors or scopes side by side.

Althought it is still under warranty he told me it didnt come with the extra's so maybe he bought it prior to August when the deal was made?. I'd still like the pics of those extra items though Digz and he can then try and get them from the supplier.

Do you think £550 for the mount was a good price? it's only been used twice

I would most certainly say so - you've got yourself a great deal on a great mount

Here are a few pics of the mount.

It's in great condition...

need someone to come over sometime now to help me set it up and show me how to use it.

[Digz]

Congrats on the purchase, you wont be disappointed!

[StarDome]

Hi Digz, could you email me them pics you said I could have

thanks

Andy

[Digz]

I can do but do you still need them? Its not gonna show anymore than what we can see in your shot.

[StarDome]

I just need the pics of the 2 extra plates and the extention bar for the counterwight system

thanks for your help

Andy

[Digz]

Ah, thats were I cannot be of service Im afraid as I dont have those items sorry.

Hi Andy, I can help with an image of the extension bar but when I bought my NEQ6 it only came with the Losmandy (76mm) style dovetail. I've attached pictures of both anyway.

Well I downloaded EQMod today and cant seem to get it to run with Windows 7, 64bit. Anyone else had issues or am I being thick?
