Hi Supercoolone,

I have had my EQ6 Pro about 6 months and the only thing I would recommend is replacing the Vixen style dovetail and saddle with something from AMD, you will not regret it. Gregg

Fabulous photos, Gregg! I'm also in Vancouver, and will look forward to seeing your rig at a star party.

For "AMD" you probably meant "ADM". I have those upgrades on my EQ6 Pro, using it with a 10" f/4.7 Newt -- very worthwhile.

I am still using a Vixen dovetail, though, and am contemplating an upgrade to Parallax on a Losmandy plate, if the mount will handle it. I'm using the Losmandy saddle with the Vixen adapter, and and extra Synta dovetail across the top for extra stability. Also, a Wilcox ring.

I haven't used mine for still imaging yet, but was out until the wee hours last night with the Mallincam.

There was some vibration in the breeze that would have required discarding some frames in still photography.
