Nice results. What about tracking, are you panning manually? That's the bit I found that was distracting during lunar eclipse and Venus Transit.

A Vixen Polarie may be the go there.

The Robofocus bracket is certainly large! I had a "spare" motor, so thought it was better to use that system, rather than spend another $250 on the micro focuser.

I've got an EQ3 for tracking Greg - I've just got to move the mounting point for the scope forward to allow for the heavy tail end with a DSLR hanging off a 60mm scope.
