Steve Paxton's photos with the keyword: NEQ6 Pro

This is the NEQ6 Pro a much heavier mount (head and legs 20kg 12kg EQM35 with weights.) and better tracking. I will in the end of august get the mount upgraded with belts and all gears are taken out so no backlash. From back to front ZWO(red) camera next to camera filter draw , Reducer, spacer rings for Focuser, Red Square ESSATO auto Focus and ED 80 Skywatcher scope. On top Guide scope and camera. the plastic bag covers the power board and plugs from the very heavy dew. I also have a plastic sheet on top of the guide and electrical point on top (not shown here as I removed) to keep safe all the electrical parts from the heavy dew. As well as this two Dew heaters one for scope and one for guide scope. All the wires are wrapped around scope to keep things tight and no loose wires. Under the silver sheet and towel is the computer in a 55lt box that all the deep space parts fit and doubles as computer cover as well, towel is to kill the light from the computer screen. the mount is sitting in a 2m square that is one side fence, one side shed and two sides shade cloth to cut light and cut wind. my aim here it to use three cameras. D810 full frame 600mm ZWOASI071MC DX crop 900mm ZWOASI183MC 1" sensor 1800mm all on the same scope and depending on the target which camera gets used. My EQM35 was sold to my wide field milky way partner plus a whole lot of help notes and set up in the hope he will get a bit of his Mojo back and take photos again.

I found out the ZWO make a connector and filter draw to fit a Nikon lens. I am able to use the ZWO cooled camera and Nikon lens and add to that I am able to fit the Optolong LeNhance filter that kills light polution and to a big extent the moon as well. This also releases my D810 to be used as a normal camera I making this I ran into a whole new problem the 5kg weight that is with the NEQ6 is way to heavy so I had to make my own. two 1.25kg weight lifting plates sitting on hose on the shaft and hose clamps each side $11 all up.
