Spent some of the kids inheritance :)

Got me an HEQ5 (non pro) today from Aunty Flo... thanks Steve

My trusty 3 year old EQ5 is getting a bit doddery when carrying the 200mm F6

and I wanted something a tad beefier.

Will be doing the Rajiva mod to it at some later date but for now, I'm

excited about using this rather handsome mount 8)

Beans on toast for a few weeks now

Full of protein and goodness is beans on toast. Can you stretch the budget for some cheese on top?

Congrats on the new mount Phil.

I was amazed at the difference between the EQ5 and HEQ5. The EQ5 is a good mount but the HEQ5 is in a different league.

You're gonna love it!

If my inheritance took the form of a variety of telescopes and mounts I'd be delighted. Also, you wouldn't get that many people fighting over the proceeds!

Nice mount there Phil.

Yep - Downsizing, equity release, burning effigies of Jamie Oliver. My sole remaining raison d'etre...

Good choice, and wise philosophy Geppetto, and Warthogs sentiments should be engraved on a Plaque in every home :D

Cheers Frank
