Great write up of the night Matt :-)

Not much to add there apart from using the Lumicon ND25 on the moon was very good for the larger targets but did tend to make a lot of the smaller craters and features less discernible.

Also the AZEQ6 was significantly quieter and smoother than any prior of the SW EQ mounts and placed targets almost dead centre in the EP through out the night....very impressive compared to prior SW mounts

However it was let down by the tripod which made deepening during focus very frustrating........on a good tripod like the TPOD130 or similar (or better) this mount would be a great Alt/Az goto mount.
