My New portable set up.

[Doc]

This my new portable set up. An HEQ5 Pro with a WO GT-81 and a full set of WO UWAN's.

Looks a real classy piece of kit, is it for visual or imaging?

[Doc]

It will be used for both, I have a Canon 1000d just need to get a few bits for it first, also I have a Watec 120n+ so will try that.

[Mark at Beaufort]

Mick that looks a lovely piece of kit. A bit smaller than the 16" Lightbridge! Are you going to be doing live video with Watec 120n+?

Mark

I hope to Mark, I've also got that Bresser 152 Achro which should be very good for live video.

The Gt-81 is mainly for visual especially binary stars.

Very nice Doc (from all angles) it will be interesting to see how this performs with the Watec...

I'm getting used to being a contortionist using an EQ mount

If I ever get clear skies between, working nights and bad weather I'll let you know Peter how good the watec is.

Very nice doc...You will be able to image even fainter objects than you saw in that 16 inch..I hope you are now keeping well?

Looks absolutely stunning, Mick.

Cracking piece of kit Mick, that 28mm looks a treat on there:)

Itll be excellent with the Watec, I reckon you should just get the horse head live with that set up on a good night

[Doc]

Whats a good night Phil or should I say when is there going to be a good night.

But the horsey sounds wonderful as I've never seen it.

About minus 15 with a brisk north easterly in december if I remember rightly:)

wow nice set up

[iamjulian]

Nice, gosh the 16" has gone used to love your reports through that thing. I see you have gone for something you can fold up and carry in your pocket. Well, almost. Hope you have a happy winter with it.

Nice - Hmmm HEQ5 Must resist

[sgazer]

very neat. How does the HEQ5 cope with the weight?!! LOL

I notice a little wireless thingy on the side and I'm intrigued. What is that exactly?

[Domis]

Wow,that's a sweet setup. Good luck with it.

EqTooth, runs the mount via bluetooth.

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Very nice, similar to my GP-mount APM 80 F/6 set-up. Small enough to take to France, without upsetting the missus. With these short fracs, the degree of contortion with an EQ mount is minimal. Much better than with my C8.

[Kaminovs]

May be I should make EQTooth's also in white

Hope you like it mate.

[stunt squirrel]

[Damo636]
