Hmm.... FS-60CB on EQ-6... do you need any counter-weight?? Ha ha ha :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

To Stuart: when considering the 200-300mm range, I had fs-60 and borg-60 in my considerations. Both are good!

To Weixing: indeed I only used a small counterweight and the setup looked funny where mount head and scope looked about the same size.

wow...beautiful wide angle shot Meng Lee. First time I see the Swan and Eagle in the same frame and appreciate their relative orientation.
