A rare clear night in Sydney last night so set up my 6”f6 newt and EQ6-R mount to live test the latest Ascom EQMOD and Stellarium with USB2A to USB2B cable
After polar aligned, I slewed and sync’d across the night sky on both sides of the meridian and everything worked perfectly, very accurate
Chose the Helix to try an accuracy test , found a 5 mag star about 5 degrees away , sync’d it then pressed the Helix , scope slewed to it , took a 2 minute test exposure and it ended up smack dab in the centre of the APT reticle
Captured just over an hour before some high cloud bands moved in from the south west , I’ll continue the Helix on another night
Very pleased with the performance of this latest Ascom Stellarium with EQMOD
