I picked an area of the sky that all would be familiar with , let me first piont out that the pod was just roughly aligned South and altitude was set of the EQ6 , I overburdened the EQ6 with the 1000D and a el cheapo 300mm lens too.. . anyway I got star drift after anything over 3 minutes due to alignment being way off. But Im happy with the 1000D and the mount. Some day soon I might actually have a telescope. Here is my evaluation shot of the Belt and Sword Region, 6 x 3 at 800 ..
Dont trust the dec setting guide on these mounts, I reckon this ones about 2 degrees off...
No Darks flats blah blah , evaluating the camera only.. the lens really sucks...
