Yes after the mamouth imaging sessions in france the LX200R has been brought out of retirement withth the 6" F5 scope, this should be a fun combo for the EQ6 to manage and guide!!!!

I look forward to seeing some serious images through that 8-inch at last... John

You could get some incredibly detailed moon images with that combo!

Rocket Pooch

Special image?  Sounds intriguing ...

Rocket Pooch

Yes but not tonight, I'm just testing the guiding at a full 2 meters with 4 minute subs, will be interesting to see if its all ok?
