New HEQ5 has arrived

[huwbellamy]

Just that really but I was quite excited and felt the need to share. My old (4 Months) CG5 is in the sale section if anybody fancies it - I didn't feel it was up to the job of carrying my C6R and associated bits. The max payload is 9kg but my scope, etc come to 10Kg and there was a little vibration at high mag when there was a breeze. I'll let you know how it works out when I get home from work.

Thanks Steve - Ordered Friday - very quick!

Nice one Huw, I'm sure you'll have many hours of (silent) fun with it .

I remember my HEQ5 with extreme fondness! A very stable mount that gave me hours of untroubled pleasure!

Once I get the RORO Observatory organised, this may well be back on my shopping list for the dark-site sessions!

There's a distinct possibility you'll be seeing it again at Kelling mate .

Awwww!! As it goes, that's probably the only thing I regret selling so far. But forces (L'Missus) stronger than me ensured it went. But it did to a good home .
