Hi Damien,
Thanks for that reply. It is always a great help to beginners to have procedures laid out in such a way. I will also add my finderscope into the mix. At first I thought it may be too much for balance etc. but in reality I think it will be fine and will simplify that first star step for me. The whole imaging setup won't even hit 9kgs so no problems for the EQ6 there.
I did notice PEC was off last night so I will give turn that on and see.
Just on a side note if anybody knows - I have read somewhere and will possibly get it wrong as it was a while ago that having your hmm.. was it DEC weighted slightly to one side will improve your guiding because it is reducing backlash? Ha .. I probably have that so horribly wrong that people are wetting their pants
.
Cheers
Dave
