" in AP, the mount is everything" this has been clearly stated by Orly & is also what i believed in all the time.
attached 2 photos: Mount almost polar aligned but not yet, scope = 6" SCT, Camera = Canon dslr.

Re: Practical AP in SG: Planetary & Deep Sky objects with C6
The mount may be everything, but even a modest mount will do very well if you don't stress it.
A C6 is a great choice as it is physically very short and won't stress the mount.
Great photos for being in SG and unguided!

Nice! Thanks for sharing. You should really consider using an online photo album and show them in their full glory.

then you can hook it up to Astrometry.net blind solver which will label your images for you.
clever trick.
