russ.will Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Or because he's using an tracking platform clearly pictured and also for sale. To be fair, he's quite clear in that ad that short exposures would be the order of the day.Russell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnakeyJ Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Cheers Nick, seriously tempted but would need a serious eq mount. Just spent all my money moving house :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomjo59 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Very nice. I wonder if one of these would be OK mounted on an NEQ6? Tube weight looks OK, but might be a bit long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though guiding for lx deep sky would place big demands on the mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
