Just gave mine a session with the Z61 and Askar fma180 doing the guiding. Ran 10 x 5 minute subs and all seemed pretty good. Guiding ranged between .75" and 1.4" with a few spikes to 2 or 3" - could have been the odd light breeze but the subs looked fine. Did a few 60s unguided shots - a couple were fine and a couple were not. One 120s unguided which looked perfectly fine before I packed it in. The Z61/fma 180 combo tipped the scales at a little under 4kg with cameras attached and were just a little heavier than the counter weight at full extension, so an extra kg on the counter weight bar would be handy though the imbalance was very minor.
All was controlled with the Asi Air plus with usb b cable / eqmod selected in the app. Polar alignment and plate solving went without a hitch.
So far, so good...... will post the pic a little later.
