That’s a quality 150mm scope you have there, more importantly at a really good price too
Well done !
Early days yet but I think your pretty happy with performance !

As far as new products from Skywatcher , I’m patiently waiting for them to bring out a 32kg or 35kg rated EQ mount as currently there is a HUGE gap between the EQ6-R and AZEQ6 ( 22kg ) and the observatory level EQ8-R (50 kg ).I think there would be a market for a 32 to 35kg. I’ve seen marketing ads in the UK and Europe for a Skywatcher EQ350 ( 35kg ) yoke type mount but don’t know if it went into manufacture as there are no reports in any forums or retailer supplier websites
A 35kg rated mount could be called hypothetically an “EQ7-R pro” to follow their model numbering sequence
Maybe wishful thinking ??
