Very nice Alan. I’ve been using it for a grab n go camping setup these last 12m or so, and it supports my es102 fine for visual. I just got the Skywatcher wedge and updated the firmware and can also attest it works beautifully. The firmware upgrade was the least painful experience I’ve ever had when updating mount firmware and a credit to SW. All wireless as well.
Only issue I had was my lack of familiarity with equatorial mounts and it took me a while to figure out that I needed to set the latitude to 90-12(my latitude) not just 12. Not sure if that’s a SW labeling problem or just standard. Anyway all working, had the dslr setup and the clouds rolled in. But still it goto’d fine and tracked well enough. Chuffed to bits as it was my first eq polar alignment. I have used an m12 bolt for a counter weight shaft, but have no weights yet, diy suggestions would be good. I don’t think it will take my es102 for imaging on the eq though and am tempted by the ed60’s out there.
Clear skies
