Cheers,
Thanks for looking and comenting Neil,
I have been a Pentax man since the early seventies and just find them to be very user friendly and they make some very nice glass as well.
As for the photos well I've been struggling with an old equatorial mount for a couple of years without any real success so as mentioned the new EQ6 Pro has just blown me away, should have bought one a long time back. So just being able to guide it well is a god send and definately something that without you will have a lot of trouble taking pictures unless your scope is permanently mounted and aligned of course.

These shots are just to show that I've achieved round stars, nothing more I guess so I,m looking forward from here to bettering them somewhat.

Ken.
