First time 12 " DOB on EQ6 Pro

Hi,

I originally posted "What a carton of beer will get you" about a week ago after my manul arts friends made us some mounting rings after hearing from Paul (1ponders) that caravan gas cylinder holders work well for what we were trying to do.

Well last night was the first time my mate Adam and I mounted the hot water system onto my EQ^ Pro and took some AVI's of Saturn. I have posted the results on the solar system section.

My heart was in my mouth as we added weights to balance this scope but I was amazed at how smooth everything moved after we balance it. Call us nuts but we had a great night.
