Hi,

Had the new EQ6 Pro mount with our Skywatcher ED80 guided with Petzval 66. Mount and PHD Guiding worked a treat. Six hours without PHD not going DONG once.

This was our best night so far and our first attempt at M17 and M16 so thought I would post our efforts for advice. All shots were 5 Minutes duration on ISO 800 through unmodified Canon 400D.

M83 4 Lights/4 Darks, M20 10 Lights/5 Darks, M17 10 Lights/3 Darks and M16 5 Lights/3 Darks. No flats as I am still trying to work that out.

Any feedback welcome.

Mark
