Well after some trials and tribulations since getting back into astrophotography I'm please to say I'm back in action.

After buying a 2nd hand heq5 pro that was stiff, tracking poorly and full of backlash and a scope that was just absinthe too much for the mount I think I have it all sorted.

Stripped mount, cleaned everything, replaced the tapered bearings, performed a belt drive modification and re-greased the lot... Now making sub pixel guiding and subs out to 10 minutes.

I moved from an 8" to a 5" newt and thus far the setup is humming along like a dream. To make things better, the seeing tonight is quite stable in Brisbane.

Can't wait to assemble the images from tonight.
