Hi,
The iEQ45 finally arrived in 2 packages on 22 Sep10. First box contains the tripod, counter weight, power adapter and cables. Second box contains the Equatorial Mount and 8406 controller.

I don't like Flikr because its a little more cumbersome to port your image elsewhere. What you can do for the image to display here directly is to use the [img] switch that chee chien indicated and copy the image location between the tags. Then delete the extra characters behind until you reach the .jpg portion. That would enable the pictures to be displayed here directly. Unfortunately, I can't do it for you as you need to be logged in as owner to be able to do this.
Cheers

Alfred,
we should get our heads together, I have had mine since the start of the month, and it is quite a nice mount. I got it auto-guiding for the first time last night, after a guider failure.
All went well, I like it.
