My new Sky-Watcher AZ-EQ6 SynScan arrived today. After 35 years using my first ever equatorial mount with a 114mm Newton I finally decided to purchase a new high tech equatorial mount. This AZ-EQ6 gives optimal stability and pointing accuracy for a wide variety of heavy professional photo and video equipments. It is a hybrid mount with alt-azimuth capability for general use, and equatorial capability for astrophotography use.
After opening the boxes it was time to set the mount with tripod. So far so good and now exploring all other features like the polar scope, synscan with tracking, calibration... and of course we still need to find a good fit with a new telescoop. But that's for later :)
