attached 2 photos: Mount almost polar aligned but not yet, scope = 6" SCT, Camera = Canon dslr.

As last night i we eager to test out this GP2 head newly acquired from our friend here despite the very cloudy condition, result has been satisfactory (just for that little opening time).

Due to downsizing of my Vixen GPD2 mount to GP2 Mount, i need to change my 11 lb to 8 lb, got 1 from Robin just now.

Super nice, thanks for sharing, esp

Nice pics & nice scope, btw if my C6 (LARGEST SCOPE i own Today) put next to ur C14 will it most probably look like a finder scope to main scope ? This imaginative scenario reminds me of one Chinese saying: "Small woo met Big woo" .. tks for sharing.
