And up on the EQ6.
While the planets are aligned (that sounds a bit astrology like ) I've just put it up to have a play and try some planetary imaging. You gotta love ZWO, fittings for the back of the Mak are only 1.25" unless you find\buy special bits but amongst the extenders, adapters and various bits that came with the ASI1600mm-c was a fitting that fitted the retaining ring from the Mak. So now I can mount either the 120mc ( as in the pic ) quite solidly or the 1600 as well. Would have loved to have been able to fit my 2" flip mirror in there as well but couldn't find a suitable mixture of fittings. I'll keep looking or the lathe might have an answer.
Visual tests on the Mak are brilliant and both cameras show no vignetting. Very happy, now I'll just go outside and get my Anti-Cloud gun working.
