Nah, I don't mind! I think you did a good job, you managed to get rid of alot of that darn hatching sorta pattern that the camera gave.
I think I am gonna have to spend some extra time with some of my older shots in photoshop to see what I can learn to help increase quality

Yeah, there is quite a bit of weight there. It never argued with my old focuser (just a regular rack and pinion one) and I recently got a new 1:10 fine focuser which also doesn't seem to mind the weight. The EQ6 is actually quite good for the weight as I can have the tube spun around so the focuser is pointing upwards (of course, this only happens in the mount is faced towards the horizon). But even when it is at right angles with the ground, the focuser seems to hold the weight quite well.
