Rowan Astronomy Belt Kit...
Upgrade Your Mount: Greater Precision, Quieter Operation and Easier Pointing
An equatorial mount becomes considerably more efficient when equipped with a smooth motor drive and responsive control electronics. Upgrading the drive transmission or adding GoTo functionality allows you to focus on image acquisition rather than constantly correcting tracking errors.
Two Key Solutions to Upgrade Your Mount
- Rowan Astronomy Belt Drive Conversion Kits (HEQ5, NEQ6): By replacing the original gear trains with pulleys and timing belts, these kits significantly reduce mechanical backlash, smooth out periodic error and make motor operation remarkably quieter. They are a popular mechanical upgrade for smoother autoguiding corrections and more reliable tracking performance.
- GoTo Motor Drive Kits for Manual Mounts (Sky-Watcher EQ3-2 or EQ5): Adding stepper motors and a SynScan hand controller transforms a manual mount into a fully automated observing system. You gain access to automatic pointing for thousands of celestial targets, reliable tracking and a dedicated ST4 autoguiding port.
These targeted upgrades give your existing mount a new lease of life and help increase the number of sharp, usable images captured during every imaging session.
