Dear fellow space-explorers,
Just sharing good news; bought AZ-EQ6 today. Have been using HEQ5 with EQMOD for over two years and although the mount allowed for taking pretty good images, my gear grew to over 10kg, so time has come to get a stronger mount. For some time I was seriously considering G11, but in the end settled for cheaper AZ-EQ6.
So far everything works well, EQMOD works with the mount out of the box, no drivers nor any software issues. CdC works, the mount also slews quieter than my HEQ5 and with more 'confidence'. PHD also recognised the mount with no issues. In summary, so far so good.
Looking forward testing the mount tonight.
Thank you for reading
