m37 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Well, seems I have the imaging bug pretty bad...Due to some good fortune I have just ordered myself a mount upgrade - going from my GOTO AZ to an HEQ5 Pro Synscan. Anyone got any tips for setting up first time or little tricks specific to this mount?I've used a manual GEM before so I'm pretty excited. Also got an OAG on the way.Apologies for the inevitable cloud-fest over the East Midlands for the next 5 weeks by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquid360 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I refer to this as the New Astronomical Hardware Weather Phenomenon or NAHWP. Someone should do a paper on it as it's a very real thing. - Nate Birmingham, AL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m37 Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 Yes, I rather think I am going to use EQMOD, and Stellarium, and Backyard EOS !!!! EXCITING!Just received it this morning (that's some quick turnaround from you know who) and assembling it was a doddle. Need to fiddle with my dovetails and rings as my existing bits don't fit perfectly but it will all go together nicely.I saw a break in the cloud earlier. Dare I dream?Cheers for the link to the astrobaby site, looks really good. Youtube is full of stuff too.So excited I think I might have a bit of sick later.
