After moving back to Perth a couple of months ago I have finally had the chance to do some imaging and one of my favourite targets was in prime position – The Horsehead Nebula.
This was also my first opportunity to try out the new Ioptron CEM60 mount that I bought earlier in the year – many months ago, but hey I have been busy !
I have to say that I am very impressed, straight out of the box the guiding graph was a huge improvement over what I have been able to achieve with the HEQ5 – even after the belt modification – this will be a keeper I am thinking.
