Used no guiding with my HEQ5 Pro.
Here are some pictures of the setup.



Ha filter within the Geoptik adaptor.



Here it is on my HEQ5 Pro with a dewremover around the lens.

NGC 1499 California Nebula at f/3.5 and 1 x 600s at 2x2 bin. My powertank ran out of juice so no dewremover nor the mount. I found a solution for the mount but the lens had fogged up a bit and was being lit up by the moon.
