Another few...
1. Omega Cent
2. Crux
3. Jewel Box
this Omega Cent. is 100% crop @ 200mm, so blur is alot more evident. but focus seems to be better despite the blur.
Crux @ 131mm, much better focus, both doubles alot more pronounced..
The Jewel Box is a 100% crop from the Crux image.. mainly to highlight focus.
I'm calling around every astro shop I can think of tomorrow... surely someones got an EQ6pro for me... I'll be telling them I'd even be happy with a ex-display providing it has full warranty..
Focusing on a bright star is the way to go! I got a shot of M20-M8, although 3 seconds was only enough to get a touch of M8's nebulosity, and no visible sign of M20... Also, it was taken at 200mm and without tracking, 200mm @ 3sec starts to show pretty ugly trails...
