- A small astrophotography setup on an EQ6 Pro mount.
Just slewing it to different 'targets' by computer control after assembling the setup for first time.
The main telescope is just a 150/750mm Newton fitted with a cooled 16-bit CCD-camera. This mount could handle up to 250mm Newton or other type of larger scope. The guiding scope is 70/500mm akromatic refractor with a modified webcam. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
ive watched your video many times. I loved your configuration of the side by side, i have done the same.
wow what a piece of kit!
@riccardocosenza
Correct.
I have made it better by adjusting backlash and by adding a rubber washer on the transfer gear axle.
The start/stop noise is a bit rough. However, when using it outside it does not sound that bad. At least neighbours are not complaining ;)
I think that the echo of the room and the video camera's automatic audio gain control has exaggerated the noise.

I do not know about ease of general viewing as I mostly do CCD. I have found that the GoTo on this works quite good.
I replaced the 150mm Newton about a year ago with a 250mm Orion(UK) f4.8 Newton, that is a light build: 10kg. The mount handles it well.
Good Mount for this Price.
And to Hekke74 my Mount is also noise.
And your video is good, more so video for eq6 in youtube. thats was very good.
The mount has good potential, but from what I'm reading, it really needs to be dismantled, cleaned, and then re-greased with Lithium grease. There's several websites on how to do this, if you want, I can post a link.

é o telescopio do meu sonho
The noise is from the spur gears. Any harmonic musical sounds are from the stepper motors as frequencies are changed. How did you connect the mount to the computer -laptop? w/hat control and planetarium software did you use/
Sweet mate! Question..Im getting bintels eq6 pro on a 200mm Newtonian...at the moment saving for a ccd...is general viewing any good through this setup or is it a pain.
@Hekke74 Ok cool..250mm would be nice improvement :) cheers and good luck with your astrophotography!
@kalldin I know your comment is over a year old but I've been using a program called Stellariumscope quite successfully.
Hey! can you move it manually?
nice price. $1600 lol Looks great for astrophotography, though. It doesn't get anymore sturdy than that. Won't have to worry about elongated stars, shaky stars in photos from that.
What is the total payload you have on the mount?
+zircon215 I would say it's about 10kg.
I also own a NEQ6 Pro, I hate the sound they make!
Sounds bit noisy then mine on start up an stop.
