Anyone here have a mount with drive gears by Aeroquest Machining? Here's their web address:

http://www.aeroquest-machining.com

I wanted to do a Byers gear, but they're no longer made or too expensive. Aeroquest offers complete drives for very reasonable prices. They claim 5 arcsecond accuracy. If you have any experience with their product, I'd love to hear from you! Thanks - Chuck

Chuck About 10 years ago, I had an Aeroquest drive. The machining was flawless, and the tracking was dead on. I for one would not hesitate to recommend them. They have undoubtly gotten better since then, and their prices are reasonable compared to Mathis or Byers which are also good products. IMHO Aeroquest will give you the most bang for your buck!! Clear Skies!! Eddie
