My HEQ5-Pro is just back from DarkFrame Optics. David had it for quite a long time - the yellow and red heat warnings kept him from having cool enough temperatures to do the testing that he had to do.

After the second night of imaging these were the final numbers for the night:

• RA 0.13
• Dec 0.13
• Total RMS 0.19
• RA Oscillation at 0.41

I guess these are probably okay numbers.

Hi William,

These numbers look very good to me :) But after all is important if the stars are round :d
Clear skies,
