AZ EQ6 GT in dual mode

[moriniboy]

First time using the new mount in dual mode, thought I would record it for posterity.

Shoot out between 63mm Zeiss Telementor and 80mm Vixen FL80S Fluorite.

Yes I know the half pillar needs a bit of work but I could not wait.......

Nice.

How come your eye piece tray is different from mine?

No idea, that's the one it came with, does the job.

A photo of your tray would be useful to see which is best.

Mine is all packed up (been away and not u oacked the mount yet). But it looks like this:

It's a metal spreader plate, with a central hole through which the bolt goes to clamp the mount head down on the top of the tripod.

Ah now I understand, my tripod is a Vixen DP95 not the Skywatcher EQ6 one which came with the mount.

I see. That would explain it
