Finally finally got my mount working well.
This is first light for the new and improved HEQ5Pro.
19 x 5min @ iso800
Darks taken but no flats. It needs flats badly.
Processed in the field using DSS and CS3.
ED80
Canon 20d
Oh, and I shot in jpeg by mistake. I'm such a nong.
LOL but I wasn't going to waste all those lovely subs.

I've had the mount partially dissembled for the last week and a half. Put it back together today.

That's a great shot
There's a lot of detail in there. Is your camera cooled?
I might try the same, although it wont be through the scope unfortunately.

That's a great result Nettie
I'm aware of the level of stress you've been living with over this mount, and I'm really glad that you now have it sorted. Well done ma'am!

Dear oh dear. When did you first notice you were collecting JPG subs? Nice image though, the ED80 + DSLR combo does well on this area of sky
