Hi
I got an AstroEQ a few years ago, but being very lazy have never upgraded the dual axis motors, and so haven’t used it much.
This looks interesting for those of us too lazy to build their own:

The price for the motor kit seems reasonable. What would be needed to use it with AstroEQ?
Would the rj11 rj12 connections be an issue?
Grateful for any advice.

Hi,
Those motors should work, would just need to work out the gear ratios and the pinout.
Making cables to go from the AstroEQ connector to there motors should be possible - easiest way may be to desolder the connectors that come with there motors and solder on RJ11 sockets.
