Some good data there.  I have to say that the Crescent is one of those targets that almost always looks over-processed to me and I do find this a bit harsh personally but you've got good definition and good detail so... as long as you're happy with the scheme it's a job well done.

Great effort.

Yup, it's a garish beast in any colour combination. You really have to pull back the saturation to make it look "normal".

The second version is probably my personal favourite!

How do you find the Esprit 120 on the EQ6-R? You must almost be at the limit of the mounts capability

Hi,

To me it is a perfect match, the mount has no trouble with the Esprit 120 and my guiding total RMS is typical around 0,5"/pix.

The total weight of the telescope and everything attached to it is about 13,5 KG so i'm no where near the limit of 20kg for AP as stated in the manual (but we all know that would probably be pushing it)
