After a lot of problems, i now end up with my very first astro photo. North Lagoon Nebula i the constellation Sagittarius.

40 lights of 360 Sec. Darks, Flats and Dark/flats. ASI 533MC PRO and Skywatcher 200 on a EQ6RPRO  would like som comments for learn more.

Okaj. Thanks.

How did you build the dome. ???

Here is mine before glasfibre and epoxy,

Yes, both do the job, and that was what we was looking for. ;0)))

I bought an extra ring to my scope, and placed it over upper ring, tighten it when all in balance, and can turn tubus.

Yes, Sec. mirror can be a little  beast to kollimate. You can se the video on my homepage, what i done with it.

My side is in danish, but i think google can translate.

The video is in English, and he has a lot of videos from the first setup, to go deeper in.

Write "astronomyshed" in you tube, i have learned a lot from him.

When you have the sec. mirror in place, you can use the laser to adjust the prim. mirror.

I found out that a lazer is no go for first kollimation, try to turn it around in the focuser, and se how the "dot" is turning around. Se this.

Pointing the sun, is never good. I have a  200 with a 533MC PRO, and backfocus is 55mm, after that no problem with focus, but dont use the sun.

I have a EQ6R PRO, 2 times back to dealer in 1 year.   First, motherboard  burned. 2. USB port defekt.

You can se my setup and building a pier. http://www.mit-observatorie.dk  in Danish, but i think google can translate.

Thanks, but i have mount, focuser and  2 cameras, running, not easy with only one port.

I build mine Obs. from the bottom, and never finding any kind of condensation. in the north part of Denmark. 

http://www.mit-observatorie.dk   Its in danish, think google can translate

Thanks. I had a proff. to look at my gear, and after 3 hours he give up. Therefore the mount was send back to dealer. NINA and other softw. is not starting up when pc is starting, always starting it later. ;0))

After nightly visitors run with all my gear from my observatory, i installed a camera with ir detc. If it "feels" anything i got an alarm on my phone. Yes, it was too late, but the insurance like it. Hope my new gear will be my gear. ;0))))

Yearrr, i'am a bit angry, will give them a 2. chance, and IF, it "runs away" ones more, i would ask them to replace it.  

Hi. I got my "old" gear Stolen, NEQ6, and Sky watcher 200 pda, and guide gear. ETC. i got it replaced with a EQ6R PRO and a new 200. To make a long story short. After install. and P.A. in sharp cap, i turned the mount over to east. from there it run away i DEC and before i could count to one it was turned one hole turn, pulling wires out, an stops. Back to the store where it come from.

Short. the motherboard was gone. It came bak with a new. So far so good.

I then run the hole setup, and setup a session at 80 lights in 240 sec. Halfway it made a meridian flip, refocused, found a new guidestar, and went on the session. 3/4 in, i got a message i NINA, "mount not connected". controlled the wiring was ok, and try to reconnect. Then ASCOM came up and show "port not available" Sjejse.  Back to dealer.

2. times in a row.  Anyone have problems with the EQ6 R, or dit i just get a "monday mount" ???
