So...progress on by butcher shop effort.
Lifting it all up onto the mount I thought about Strongman Mike.
Wish he was there to help...
Balance is good. Had to add 3.6kg of lead (half a day forging).
Total weight of rig ended up at 20.5KG
The EQ6-R copes easily with slewing at top speed.
First issue:
I attached the Laser Collimation tool and spun the scope around at all angles.
Not a good result. It varied quite a bit.
May well be a show stopper.
Tonight will be to find focus using the moon and take a few happy snaps.
Tomorrow will attach the guide scope, and well...have no idea of how that will turn out.
