Guiding Best ever last night...

[ApophisAstros]

My kit is an EQR6-Pro mount with a Starwatcher Evoguide 50ed guide Cam using a ZWO ASI178MM Camera.
Mount is over 6 years old .
Anyone else have this result with a lower end kit setup?

Congrats!
Every once in a while when the stars align properly and the seeing is excellent, there's no wind, polar alignment and balance are just perfect, I get into the upper teens on my total RMS. I once had a Total RMS of 0.13" for about 10 minutes and honestly thought the guider was guiding on a hot pixel!
The best I have documentation of though is .27" This was using an OAG and guiding at 1220mm fl!

Sometimes all the pieces parts decide to work harmoniously with each other, other times, not! I can see that last night was a very harmonious night.

BTW, the EQR6 Pro is not a lower-end mount. If fact, for amateurs, it is at the upper end of the middle-quality mounts. So you are getting what you are supposed to get, excellent guiding.
