I decided I'm not going to buy another mount. My RASA and the new RedCat will be taking turns on my EQ6-R Pro mount.

Your photography is AMAZING! The universe is endless! I can't even imagine how far it goes. Beautiful pictures. A book with your pictures would be so cool! Looking forward to more beautiful pictures.

CHUCK'S ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY- The man and his equipment that gets the job done! A top notch American of Astronomy!

Great setup Chuck, really looking forward to seeing the images you get with it. Love the outtakes, I feel the same way after several takes on something lol and thanks so much for the shout out!

[Astrobloke]

Looking forward to seeing the images you capture Chuck, could be another APOD in the bag knowing you. Clear skies sir

Great setup. I have 3 telescopes, including the RedCat 71 and I use it with the iOptron CEM 40 mount. It works extremely well. The other two telescopes I use my iOptron CEM 70.

Nice setup Chuck ! I am so glad to see a new video from you, it is been a long time and I missed you (I am not so a fan of the live videos). Thank you for sharing.

Totally agree with the mounting for the Pegasus power box. I did end up 3D printing mounts for mine. Good luck with the new setup Chuck

I have bought my Skywatcher eq6r pro mount recently from First Light Optics in the UK...excellent service, no tariffs, cheaper than in the US even with international shipping. Thanks for your videos!

Nice setup! Looking forward to seeing the final results.

[JeffHorne]

Love it, chuck! Can’t wait to see what you do with a wider fov!

[Steve_The_Ignorant_Astronomer]

Sure do have a lot of scopes there Chuck.... Enjoy and have fun with it

[Thunder_Dome]

Looks good to me. I had to laugh with the box of extension tubes. Mine aren't in a box but all over a table I store my fleet of telescopes on. One thing that might be a problem with the power box on the front is if light pollution bounces off of it and gets in the pictures.

[OlliesSpace]

Looking good Chuck nice neat little package.

I like my HEQ5 Pro. It tracks pretty well straight out of the box with a William Optics 72mm scope onboard. I bought it over the 6 due to it being lighter and me having a major back issue. If i had the chance to use it more often I would upgrade it to belt driven though to help with backlash. If you're not jumping targets it's not really an issue though.

Awesome Chuck! Love this channel, thank you for sharing. I've really been enjoying the live feeds, too

[trumpingtonfanhurst]

With a few momentary exceptions, nothing's more fun than setting up new stuff :)

[Joyful_Livng]
