EQ6 Pro with Synscan V3 First Light

We purchased our EQ6 Pro with Synscan V3 from Bintel Melbourne last week.

We have a Skywatcher 8" f5 Newtonian mounted

Spent time getting our magnetic deviation and settings OK. Tried for a 3 star alignment on Thursday night and failed then the clouds rolled in again. Did a few more adjustments and then had cloud every night since.

Tonight was our first time to try again. Unfortunately we couldn't do a polarscope alignment because of the moonlight

Did a 3 star alignment and "alignment successful" Spent a bit of time doing goto's and targets were almost in the centre.

So now we have to wait for a moonless night so we can see Octans and align with the polarscope

Very impressed with the mount it's very sturdy and moves effortlessly and is remarkably quiet.
