I read a comment somewhere on IIS about improving the pointing accuracy of the EQ6 gotto mounts " the better you centre the alignment stars the better the pointing ". Having used my Reticle eyepiece for the first time last night to align my scope I find this to be very true. Being able to perfectly centre the stars for the first time the EQ6 slewed to and perfectly centred objects time after time. Ofcourse having your mount level is also a must.
Moral to this thread :
If you don't already have a Illuminated Reticle Eyepiece but you do own an EQ6 gotto mount ...... spend $99 ( Orion 12.5mm wireless ) at Bintel or other dealer and improve your pointing.
