Hi You could make a mirror mount How to make a binocular mirror mount - BBC Sky at Night Magazine Ian

Don't know if this helps as I don't use EQMOD. My scope is parked in the standard home position. When I turn things on, if I don't do an alignment, then goto something the scope is close but not spot on. If I do a solve and sync the mount it doesn't work. However if I do an alignment, even without centering the alignmet star, I can then solve and sync successfully. Hope that helps Ian

Just a thought on the ota. Maybe try some black tape over the chip, will reduce the aperture but might be ok. Good luck Ian

Ok, hopefully sorted now. The carousel wasn’t seated properly so the micro switch wasn’t reading the position correctly and I assume defaulted to 5 filters. Fingers crossed Ian

Ok so my delight wa short lived. When i reassembled it and connected it 8 filter postions showed, correct. I reconnected the camera, guide camera and focuser, came inside, sent previous reply then connected via remote desktop and only 5 positions now showed. Disconnected eveything reconnect filter wheel, only 5 positions. Unintalled software, reinstalled software (latest from web site) 5 positions. Changed power supply, changed usb cable 5 positions. Thanks again for any thoughts Ian

Thank All for your assistance I took the wheel apart, repositioned the wheel at postion 1 and all now seems ok Thanks again Ian

Hi All, I wonder if anyone can help. I recently wiped my pc. Upon reinstalling everything my Atik EFW3 suggests I have only 5 filters instead of 7. I cant find anywhere to change this. Any ideas please? Many thanks Ian

wow

I had a go at Mars. The video files looked very uninspiring. Very leased with the result. Skywatcher 180Pro Mak, Zwo ASI 294 McPro camera Ian
