- Ben Marks: Marcel was great to deal with. Had a slight mixup with the order and the issue was solved within hours. Amazing service and highly recommended :-)
- Carmel Ellen: How wonderful it was to be able to receive immediate help in purchasing a telescope when completely lost in this area, and on a Sunday when the majority of shops are closed! I was extremely satisfied with help given by Marcel - patient, knowledgeable, and able to explain simply. I highly recommend Astro Dog Online, Marcel and their website. Look them up! They're worth your time!

DESCRIPTION
Rowan Astronomy Belt Mod Kit for NEQ6
This kit replaces the NEQ6' spur gear drive train with timing belts.
Reduces spur gear errors, which reduces tracking errors.
Slewing is much quieter - the 'grinding' noise that regular spur gears produce is significantly reduced.
Uses a 6mm wide belt and does not require the slot in the mount casting to be modified (required by some other kits).
The pulley ratio is the same as the factory gears so Sky Watcher SynScan hand controller functions are unaffected. All gain and no loss :-)
The pulleys are designed and produced specifically for the NEQ6 mount and manufactured to a high precision (Rowan don't modify off-the-shelf parts).
NEQ6 Belt Kit comprises of:
2 x 47 tooth pulleys. 2 x 12 tooth pulleys.
2 x timing belts.
4 x intermediate rollers and mounting shafts.
2 x RA motor and idler mouinting plates.
2 x Dec motor and idler mouinting plates.
Stainless steel socket head bolts.
An optional extractor tool is available to easily remove the pinion gear from the motor - let us know if you need this, we will reply with an offer that includes the extractor.
Please note: Fitting instructions are available - request at checkout as we can't post links.
"The the pinion extractor is an essential, but if you follow the instructions and are methodical then it’s pretty straight forward. One of the instructions is to set a pulley 5.5mm away from the body so you may struggle without a digital vernier calliper but it’s easy enough if you do have one." - Dan
