Photo description / processing

Second stack, a bit fresher. But the shooting conditions happened during a full moon. And as if a full moon wasn't enough, the Moon was only about 20 degrees away. On the bright side, the dual-band filter brought out the nebula's filaments beautifully) As for the background, don't look at it—it's a mess that just won't quit.

My wife nicknamed this object the Lungs)
Ah, if only I had better shooting conditions... Now I have a better camera, but no weather or time. And I don't have a long-focus lens. I don't know what to use for it now.

But a meter is already something, otherwise the EQ6 won't handle it.

I wonder how the HEQ mount handles a 150/750 telescope?

If you don't shoot near the horizon, as I do, where guiding can reach 2" and sometimes exceed it, it tracks normally.

The HEQ5 should perform excellently.

I once mounted a C11 on it, and overall, it worked under ideal conditions, so the question was more rhetorical.
