Tonight I was happy

Tonight I set up my NEQ6 for the first time with my newly arrived Evostar ED80 Pro. I appreciate this sort of gear is nothing new, but bear in mind i'm upgrading from a 200P..

When I had gone through all the setup guides and familiarised myself with it, I set the GOTO to aim for Jupiter (in my lounge - I just wanted to see it move).

Did anyone else just laugh to themselves the first time they did this with a mount and 'scope. God I'm excited..

Happy times.

Glad all is working, and it is very exciting playing with new kit.... Bet you cant wait to get out and us it. I had a play with EQ Mod indoors, that is cool, controlling your mount with a computer. If it stays cloudy, may keep you entertained

Yeah it was a great feeling seeing it all setup finally and absolutely, as soon as the clouds finally clear off I'll be out there.

I think it's the incredible amount of software and "toys" out there that attracts me. There's so much to play with.
