These look great, I'd imagine you would have a fairly good Bortle class in the Hunter.
I am reasonably new to this and wondered what mount you are using with the SW180?

Hi ,
I’m using an aging SW NEQ6 which was polar aligned about 3+years ago for DSO imaging and still tracks nicely at a focal length of 2.7 metres.

Many thanks Phillip , seems like a fairly cost effective solution with the SW Mak.

Hi, you might remember I posted a thread with pictures , last year, of my successful removal of the dovetail and replacement with rings without affecting collimation. Regards philip

Regrettably I sold it and am looking for something similar.
