I'll do some pictures today after I put some lead sheet inside the tube at the back... that's too long a moment arm balanced as is, and even touching it and off she goes (dampens quickly though). The HEQ5 handles it JUST fine, though with a camera attached last night, I had to stop the slew otherwise the camera was going to hit the tripod leg near zenith! (note to self - if, as expected I get REALLY serious about this scope, it get's a pier
)
Photos did not disappoint, except for the expected CA in the bright stars. Hopefully, the Baader filter will kill a lot of that. Have decided WILL grab a ChromaCor, IF I can darned well secure one!
