Description
Excellent seeing conditions. This is a second attempt with my EdgeHD 11 and new Sky-Watcher EQ6-R Pro after a near-failure yesterday because of clouds. My primary use for this mount will be for deep sky imaging, but I can also use it for planetary imaging with the EdgeHD 11 in times I would've used the EdgeHD 8 and Advanced VX.
Notes:
- The North Polar Hexagon has a reddish color with little contrast.
- Some banding is becoming visible in the southern hemisphere as the rings slowly uncover it from Earth's perspective.
Equipment
