I've attached a zip file containing a 300s raw (except for the compression) uncalibrated & unprocessed single frame taken at full moon with my Vixen VC200L @ f/9 + Ha filter + QHY9 + QHY5 guider (on 270mmfl guide scope) to give an idea of the guided performance of the EQ8.

My mount shows an average raw PE of 5.1" PTP which is extremely smooth.

I am seeing some differential flex at different declinations with this set-up & will probably go to an off axis guider eventually.

Very happy with the EQ8 so far.

Cheers
Maurice

PS - sorry about the compression artifacts, but I thought others might like to see a full frame
