Cool. Wow, that's a big box, lol. Mine is due tomorrow. Might need lifting gear, lol. 

Woop Woop, great news Nigella, enjoy.

Logistics issues so went and picked up my Eq8 R pro mount today from flo. Brilliant to meet some of the team. Had a chat with the famous Rob, had to have a selfie, lol. I asked if I could load my car up with some more of the boxes but they said no, lol.

Arrived Tuesday, machined up the mount adapter on Wednesday, swapped the vixen bar yesterday and placed the scope on the mount this morning.

Software wise a simple swap for the EQ6-r so just need some clear sky's to do all the calibration and polar alignment.

Brilliant news tomatobro. Well done. You'll have to let me know how you get on.

And just to wet your appitite

21.7 kg on the mount, Altair guide scope, PHD default settings. Oh and thin high cloud with no stars visible to the eye
