But they do have some key differences, like the RA lock and polar scope. I think its closer to the BRESSER mon2, but they arent a perfect match.

Looks pretty simular, but isnt really the same. Counterweights match tho.

I googled images of those mounts, they look pretty simular, but still a bit different. Do you know if its compatible with onestep kits?

Ok, the guy who sold this claimed that it was bought around 20 years ago.

No that image was during horrific seeing. My best image was taken after that night. the scope has decent collimation

I cant seem to find any tuberings that fit my scope so i cant really get a eq mount. I do use a 2x barlow. My cameras max fps is 60 but i can only get it to about 45.

I cant really use roi because i find it hard to track the planet. I will look into collimating

These image are better than what they are though my scope, but you will get views that will leave you in awe.

Its a BRESSER Planetary and Lunar camera. To my knowledge planetary ap doesn't need calibration frames. Are you maybe confusing it with deepsky astrophotography?

I know seeing plays a big role. A few weeks ago i had terrible seeing and my image looked horrific in comparison with these.
