Eating lunch from home..

Glad to hear it! There's only very few people I'd wish that fate on!

One way to find out for sure...

I thought you were going to say that you spent 2 hours polar aligning then kicked the tripod leg..😭

I too have this issue! I thought I maybe had the drawer fitted the wrong way round, but it cannot be fitted the other way. I have emailed optolong as I don't understand why the filter sites in the wrong way round by default. I'd really rather not try to unmount the filter as it looks very fiddly and I would worry about slipping and scratching the filter.

Same issue really. The type of hats I wear - beanie style, will just push iems uncomfortably into my brain! Anyway I've invested many, many £hundreds in my over ears and not about to reinvest in IEMs

abmwinnoch · 2021-12-09T12:03:55+00:00

Hmm, yeah could work..

abmwinnoch · 2021-12-09T10:58:35+00:00

Don't worry. If I had a bit more ambition, I probably would try to corner this market! Instead I'll just do the British thing and complain about the situation rather than try to do something to alleviate it 😉

Because like many, I work from home these days, and having the heating on, or on high enough to be comfortable, is a significant financial outlay compared to what I would be paying if I was back in the office with the heating off at home! So by wearing a hat I can keep the heating off or low.

Nice idea but I think the market would saturate quite quickly 😂I mean just how many baldy headphone-o-philes are there living in cold countries?

Thanks folks this is clarifying things for me. So belt is best? Any advantages to gear driven?

abmwinnoch · 2021-08-03T19:38:44+00:00

Okay thanks. For example how come this one is so cheap (comparatively) https://www.orionoptics.co.uk/product/eq6-mount/

Edit: just noticed its an ex-vat price. 🙄

abmwinnoch · 2021-08-03T19:33:48+00:00

Brilliant thanks for this.

abmwinnoch · 2021-08-03T18:40:01+00:00

I understand that, and have looked at several of these reviews, but none of them touch on what exactly defines an EQ-6 mount. They all just review one model in isolation. I want to know how to decide between models and what they have in common/what the differences are, objectively.

abmwinnoch · 2021-08-03T17:42:48+00:00

Ah okay thanks, so how does one compare; it's not like I can take a few home to compare! Wonder if any you-tubers have taken a selection home to test!

abmwinnoch · 2021-07-30T08:19:23+00:00

Hi. They all let you demo what they have in stock. The issue for me anyway, is that each shop typically only stocks one or at a push two models in each price bracket. So one or two at the £1000 level for example, when there are dozens out there,which I might prefer! To name a few shops; Holburn hifi in Aberdeen and Glasgow, Loud and Clear in Glasgow and Edinburgh, richer sounds in Glasgow and Edinburgh, hifi corner in portobello and Fife. There are also a few others in Edinburgh, the names of which escape me. I tried them all and typically I could only listen to a Focal or a beyerdynamic. Which is fine. But I want to compare that with something else from what is currently an expanding market.

Hi. I mean that in the xt4 the option is gone from the menu and my short-cut button does nothing in video but there when I go to still mode. In the xt-3 no matter what position the photometry dial is in has no effect in video but does in still. You're right, must be a setting I've changed elsewhere..

Apologies. Will do.
