Hi Max...
i took the plunge and ordered the HEQ5 Pro on monday... it, along with a few bits and pieces arrived in Adelaide from Bintels Melbourne store yesterday (wednesday)... impressive...
incidently i had to strick a deal with the missus which involved buying her a new iPhone... we believe in equality... so i'm told...
considering that i already have an iPhone i can live with that... i also managed to get permission for the demolition and removal of the seldom used hills hoist, which some bright spark stuck right in the middle of the yard...
i have 9 nights off work starting saturday so i will be hoping for some clear skies... perhaps you could all put your telescopes away and take up cloud photography??? it might improve my chances somewhat...
planning on spending a couple of nights at home getting familiar with the mount... introduce it to my laptop etc... and all things going well, spend a night or two out in the field under darker skies...
hopefully that 'first pic' shouldnt be too far away...
cheers...
