Must say I’m pleased with the behaviour of my new mount. Here is the first astrophoto with it. It’s M27 The Dumbbell Nebula, a planetary nebula in the constellation Vulpecula. The photo was taken 2012-10-09 (the first clear night since I bought the mount in the beginning of September).15x60s exposures at ISO 1600 (14x60s black, 10 bias and 8 flat exposures were added) and processed with PixInsight.
