Just had to tell someone....(well someone who might be interested)

New one of the above arriving tomorrow...

Just a tad excited...

I dont suppose you bought it off Astrobuysell did you? Just saw one sold on there for £350 or £250 without the handset. Must be desperate for a sae to sell it at that price.

Wait til you see it... Then wait til you touch it...

I saw that too. Sold as soon as it went on as you'd expect at such a knockdown price. Someone got lucky.

Been saving and now I have the cash, can I find a HEQ5-EQ6 on the second hand market.............................. no

[badgerchap]

Well of course! You didn't expect Astronomy to behave simply and predictably did you?

The HEQ5 pro is a lovely mount. Congrats.

Its an unpredictable universe.

Good luck with the new mount Has it arrived?

[Centus]

I got mine a few months ago, I must say the upgrade to this mount from a previous MON2 mount that came with my Bresser Messier 150N was incredible...

3 minute subs with no trailing, no guiding and no drift alignment (yet), bliss...

[stubbadub]

I've just sold mine to fund an eq6. Just need to wait til one comes up now

[Stevie P]

Well its here, setup and ready to go...

Bit different to my manual EQ5 lots to get used too, and Thanks to "Astro Babys" tutorial on setting the clocks for polar alignment, so much easier than reading the manual...
