First time with EQ platform. Not as easy as I thought, I have to keep playing with the motor speed. It’s never perfectly right, so exposing at most for 1s or 2s (maybe 5s). As a result, a hard to stack target remains hard to stack. 


Observations:

  • M81 (Bode’s Galaxy) - Ursa Major

  • M82 (Cigar Galaxy) - Ursa Major

  • M97 (Owl Nebula) - Ursa Major  (could not stack - tried with and without duo band filter - with and without FR)

  • M51 (Whirlpool Galaxy) - Canes Venatici (tried stacking without FR but failed)
