I'll have a look to see if a novice like me can use it.

This is a simple example, possibly easy for those used to CAD programs but a pain to do in Tinkercad. This is a random one off the internet not one of mine.

Have you come across a generator for creating hobby boxes with lids? I find it difficult using tinkercad to get bevelled/rounded edges without creating & aligning 'inverse objects' to 'trim' the corners/edges?

From the log it seems to be checking for an existing version which is not found. That's fine as not everyone would need a full install when only an update is required. I trust you are not trying to install from the zip file (after clicking on it) as it most setups need the files to be unzipped for the install process.

Possibly as FLO have the double clamps as standard but worth checking RVO for the price of theirs with the double clamp too.

The UNI-18 with flat-plate and 3/8" x 14mm I would expect. Last one on the FLO list of UNI-18 types. If you are going to get it from FLO then you can always double check it before ordering.

I'm just trying to let new buyers know what they should be getting now and not an older model (if one was on sale). It was the new AM5 that piqued my interest on the differences on the AM3 - as an AM5 owner I'd not looked at the AM3 in any detail. Hopefully, all AM3 sold now will have the same features (just lacking the AM5N power point relocation).

I'm not saying there is a new version just released. So you have the 3rd iteration based on the images I've seen. Have a look at the images on FLO (and elsewhere), particularly the ones from ZWO and you can find it with/without the AZ levers and with/without Bluetooth. Of course it could mean that the images predate the first launched AM3 and only the 3rd iteration is being sold.

Interesting to note some of the changes made to the AM3: New Bluetooth button Improved Azimuth (no locking levers) Alt scale From pictures I've seen that makes the 3rd iteration of the AM3, perhaps the next will get the power port changes on the new AM5. If I am correct the first had Az locking levers, the second lost the locking levers and the third added the Bluetooth button. So anyone looking to buy the AM3 should check the for the Bluetooth button.

Interesting to note that some of these changes had already been made to the AM3: New Bluetooth button Improved Azimuth (no locking levers) Alt scale From pictures I've seen that makes the 3rd iteration of the AM3 perhaps the next will get the power port changes. If I am correct the first had Az locking levers, the second lost the locking levers and the third added the Bluetooth button. So anyone looking to buy the AM3 should check the for the Bluetooth button. And f course why would anyone not go for the latest AM5 model unless older version was discounted.

Yes, you need to enable the server feature. I have used this extensively at work before I retired and use a Win 11 laptop to connect to a Win 11 Pro server for home as well.

Any windows version can use the MS Remote Desktop Connection (the client) but only Windows Pro can run the MS Remote Server (the server). Though you can install other server software and clients.

Lucky you with the SVBony free gift. Mine was an XXXL t-shirt (not my size and not too small before anyone says).

That would be rediculous. People (possibly Peter Piper) prefer purple painted piers providing perfect procedural polar alignment.

I seem to recall that some Android users needed to give permission for the app to save on the phone. Perhaps the phone upgrade reset permissions.

Yes I just updated my Android to check, I get 1.20.0 direct from ZWO as a download and he same from PlayStore. My IOS is 1.20.1 All a bit moot what with the weather at present and me be 'under the weather' would not be in a position to do much anyway.

I thought the latest version of the app was 1.20.1 released 3 days ago as a fix to the 1.20.0 issues. FYI You can see the app details by tapping the 'me' icon at the bottom right of the app, then the settings (cog) at the top right of the screen and choosing the 'About' option on the next screen. The 'What's Fresh' option shows the changes made in the updates.

I don't have these issues being a refractor user but I did see this video from Cuiv the lazy geek which may interest some of you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tj-gDFrYnG8

Before buying anything why not try this: See if the green dovetail fits on to the top of the OTA ring if you have the correct bolts Remove the finder shoe from the focuser (you can always put it back, but as someone mentioned it will not likely leave a hole all thru) See if the finder shoe fits on the green dovetail - looks like a single screw to connect it.

How about something like this: Svbony handle You can get different lengths but you get a handle and a guide scope fitting in one. I believe the OTA rings you have there use a 3/8" bolt for cameras - which could be a problem, unless you use a standard dovetail bar upside down and get an adapter that fits on that.

It is sort of unofficially accepted by ZWO, they won't warrantee against user breakage in setting up in EQ mode but have loosened the firmware restrictions that prevented it from being done. It's not a rumour as there are many actually imaging in EQ mode, including myself. ZWO are keen to see what the end users are doing as it gives them a guide to features they include in the next generation of scopes & software. The same is true of the Dwarf, their next model 'Dwarf 3' is advertised to include 'EQ functionality'. By users pushing the envelope it makes manufactures improve the product, progress that would probably not take place or come so early if users did not think outside of the box. A good example of this is those who wanted to post process their captures outside of the S50, resulted in a change to firmware V1.8.0 by ZWO to save each frame. Of course you are quite welcome to keep to the original design if that makes you happy, but insulting those of us who expand our boundaries is somewhat insulting and ignorant.

Yes it's all over the CN forums & YouTube and even in this thread here If you are into watching YouTube then checkout the videos with a search for 'Seestar S50 EQ mode'

With the advent of owners of the Seestar using it in EQ mode, ZWO have changed the code quite a bit since the requirement for levelling each time was needed.

The new case looks a lot better and more commercial. Though given the price it's getting into the territory of the Seestar S50 & Dwarf 2 (which have their own telescope, go-to & guiding embedded). As I mentioned earlier adding the option to do a polar alignment & plate-solve would hopefully expand your potential buyers market., as would a push to target assistant. A lot I know but with the right software features I think the product would be great. And given that a lot of users of the Dwarf & Seestar post processing are you saving the raw data for later processing?

Have you checked the processing software is using the correct Bayer pattern RGGB? I've had the same issues with other ZWO gear and their own ASIStudio software not setting it correctly.
