Hi Alex
Thanks for your comments, I have been following your astrophoto travels and enjoy your observations and insights, most entertaining.
The mount used for that image was a stock standard EQ5, non Go To but dual axis drives, polar aligned using the inbuilt polar scope. Camera was attached to a ball head, attached to an vixen style dovetail. I have found over the years that for widefield astrophotos the mount tracks well enough for up to 10 min. subs though now I usually do 30 / 60 sesc. subs depending on the target.
