Well done and looking forward to more.
P.S. love the paving stone counterweight.  |
Yes bush mechanics paving stone! i had donated my other counterweight to the more complex 3 scope setup of Daniel (3 scope balancing oooh thats gay). I then thought.. hang on i need 3 CW to blance my scope... You should have seen the first effort
that was spectacular too bad it was too heavy
And no im not that seasoned, though i have torn my hair out trying to image with the 12" meade LX200R and a Guide camera
that was interesting, got some results but nothing to write home about.
Dan did give me a bit of a hand actually handling the data so cred has to go to him aswell.!
All i have to say at the end of the day and what i have told many people the 10" on a EQ6 is a potent imaging setup as it has the aperature to capture some really good data at a very short F# followed up that its not to heavy for the eq6 to handel well. Sure its not the best optics on a losmundy or Tak mount but hey for 2200 total its a dyam good start
