Thanks Tony, my camera is not modded so that's the colour that comes out of the camera, I try to go with that and keep it natural, as the eye would see if the nebula were close.

Thanks Alex, that's why I do astrophotography, the camera shows a lot more than the eye so you can see what is really there.

Thanks Kevin, the belt mod is not that hard to do. I tuned my mount a while ago and moved the motors and cogs tighter which made a big improvement in the slewing noises, the belt mod was another step forward. As a bonus Rowan doesn't do Australian GST and has a cheap postage option, plus it was only 8 days from order to Mackay.

I’m with you Kev, we all should have a go at it I’m starting to see my neq6 feeling the effects of wear and tear.
You’re set Rick

Thanks Anthony, anything you can do to improve tracking is a bonus on the path to good images, especially when you are pushing your mount beyond it's limits.
