My mount shows an average raw PE of 5.1" PTP which is extremely smooth.

I am seeing some differential flex at different declinations with this set-up & will probably go to an off axis guider eventually.

Very happy with the EQ8 so far.

PS - sorry about the compression artifacts, but I thought others might like to see a full frame
Hi Maurice,

have you a shot of the setup? Glad you are getting to use it
