Well done indeed !!
Belt modding that HEQ5 obviously has done wonders for your guiding. I had a stock HEQ5 ( my first ever mount ) about 8 years ago and the best I could get out of it was 0.85 , mostly guiding around 0.90 to 1.20.

Thanks Martin .. I get average 0.5 rms with the Askar V, but when I use the Samyang 135 I get 1.0 RMS! I think its the differential flexure because I dont use an off axis guider with the samyang.

Yes I was thinking about going a bit closer (600mm FL) but its not close enough to do it any justice and that's as far deep as Ican go with my optics lol. So I went for a "fit" onto my sensor. Thats the beauty of the modular Askar V i nterchange system.
