The undriven mount was ok for double stars, but it was really struggling with Mars. The new set-up has the Mak on a GOTO
mount. This has allowed me to use a x2 barlow, thereby increasing the image size and resolution.

Below are some images that I've obtained using the old set-up. The telescope is an 102mm MakCas with an
undriven EQ2 mount.
