Thanks Chris and Alex
Appreciate the kind comments
The Bintel 6” f5 cost me $290 about 3 years ago and it’s worth it’s weight in gold
I have done a few little mods , new dual speed focuser and heavy duty custom made primary mirror springs , that’s all
So easy to set up and collimate but my HEQ5 is just about at its payload limit with the 6” on board plus all the imaging and guiding gear
It amazes me how folk can drop an 8” on a HEQ5 and do long exposure guided dithered imaging.
Thanks again !!
