My New Toy

[scitmon]

This little goody arrived today  This is my first equatorial mount so I have a lot of reading up to do on how to use it!

 

[Dinglem]

very nice, good luck with it, wondered why it had turned cloudy.

Well, no mount in history has ever been better supported in terms of information on the internet! In its price range it is not beatable to my knowledge.

I am imagining someone opening that door and whacking your scope...

I'm jealous, that AZ-EQ6 looks great with the green setting circles!

ooh that looks nice.  Is the 'pro' a new version, I've never heard of it?  How does it differ to the GT?

Great looking thing, now all you have to do is to figure out how to make the OTA vertical!

Thats a good question, as far as I'm aware this is the GT (that's what I ordered and what it says on the instruction manual), perhaps its just a rebrand with the new green design?

Cool very nice indeed.

Yes it looks the same generally. Looks funky, I like it

Good luck in using your new mount. My old SW NEQ6 revolutionised my visual & imaging experience.

There was a new Star Adventurer mount at SGL when FLO's stand was there and I heard Steve tell someone that the green anodised parts are a new Skywatcher 'norm'.
