Both are very nice Bill, loads of detail in the separate channel.
I see you've upgraded to an EQ6 - how do you find it?

I haven't been able to do much because of holidays and the weather. I'm waiting on a cable to arrive to do some autoguiding. So far (doing widefields unguided and some lunar imaging), it seems okay. All the bits have arrived in one piece (eventually) and things seem to be working okay. Here's hoping.

Didn't notice the 200mm f2.8 too - nice stuff, big jump from the nifty fifty!!!
I've been considering a mount upgrade too!
