Belt drive for HEQ5

These kits replaces the factory gears to belt drive system. This results smoother tracking, much smaller backlash and faster response time for autoguiders during operation. Last but not least the mounts of sound will be quite different, during fast moving (goto) the rattle-rattle sound completely eliminated. This upgrade is highly recommended for astrophotographers!

The EQ6 set includes two pairs of special gears and two belt sizes required. After the mod the original SkyWatcher GoTo electronics can be use!
