Nicely Done! Was it done Fork mounted on the LX200? Or did you only take the OTA an put it on a different Mount?

Fantastic Job!

Thanks for your comments (grazie Marcello!)
The LX200 is fork mounted, the PE of the Meade mount was one of the main issues I had to solve before starting to use it for imaging.
It was +/- 34" !!!!
I ran a few sessions of PEC, I perfectly pole aligned the scope and then things started to work ok.
