The tracking accuracy of the well-proven HEQ-5 mounts can be increased by replacing the gears with a ribbed belt drive. The replacement will make the mount quieter and more responsive to autoguiding commands, improving the image quality of astrophotographs.
The replacement can be done in-house, but requires some routine and tools. The mount will then lose its warranty during the intervention. If you have the conversion done by us, we guarantee the conversion.
