Thank you, Richard. Yes, your are right: 12" newtonian, dobsonian, on an NEQ6 is a bit of a beast to handle. I removed everything that was not necessary, including the Finderscopes to reduce weight. It is at limit of Neq6.

And you are right about the OAG. I tried with an auxiliar telescope, but flexure and alignment didn't run well. Now I am using ASI120MC as guinding camera and PHD software. And I got a good set of parameters to it works very fine.

I haven't updated photos of my equipments, but here you find some ones.

And yes, I have some DSOs on my photo collection. But they aren't so much... yet.
