Hi folks,

last weekend we finally had some good conditions in Germany to start some
astrophotography. For me it has been the first time out with my EQ6 mount and
my 8" f/4 reflector, a Vixen R200SS. 

Here are some of my results:

After reading so many bad things about the EQ6 mount, I am very pleased with the 
results, keeping in mind that I didn't really spend a lot of effort in polar 
aligning properly! (I just aimed Polaris through the polar finder, and was set 
in five minutes!) I am sure that with a good polar alignement results can be 
even better!!!

Would appreciate if you'd take a look and revert me your comments!

Clear Skies,
Aike
