Glad you had some sky time
Great effort there on a unique target
I’ve yet to nail an decent image on this target due to lack of data
When this incessant horrible weather goes on the east coast of NSW , it’s on my list again
That tight guiding on your EQ6-R !!!
What’s your secret ?
Do you use PHD2 ?
I carry nearly 15kg ( 8” f5 metal tube newt ) and the best Ive had out my EQ6-R mount after physically tuning backlash out of the worm gears and drive belts , re balancing etc... is around 0.60 total rms on a good night ( which is pretty good anyway )
I suppose these middle to low end mass produced mounts have a low QC due to quality/cost constraints and it’s hit and miss when you buy one. Some folk get incredible guiding , others struggle to get below 0.80 to 0.90. However they have been the top seller across the world in the past 3 years in their class ( $2.5k is not a lot of money to shell out in this hobby )
Well done !!
Martin
