More Images from the new 150mm Istar mod

This 1500mm long beast turned out to be a lot for my existing Losmandy GM8 mount to handle .so I was on the lookout for a bigger mount and found a gently used Skywatcher EQ6 Pro at an attractive price . This mount came with a column type base . The column is a big plus for me because I could not set this up before the afternoon due to the scope interfering with the tripod legs . Now I can use the scope in the morning before the heat waves start .
  This round of images were all taken with the 150mm Istar mod on the new EQ6 Pro mount . I believe the steadier mount has contributed to the finer detail I see in these images .
