  1. Welcome. What a beautiful part of the world! I’ve done some stargazing from NZ, but not as far south as you. Looking forward to hearing about your time with the new scope.
  2. @Freff Just booking some annual leave from work - any thoughts if / when there might be a spring one? 🙂
  3. IMG_5306.mp4 IMG_5307.mp4 Exactly this.... it seems to be intermittent....

  5. I’ve got an ASIAIR and there’s some strange things happening… I’ve connected an AM5 mount (to the usb 2 port) and an ASI224MC to one of the USB 3 ports. On connecting the camera it shows as USB3, but if I disconnect and reconnect it only shows as USB2. If I switch it to the other USB3 port it stays as USB3 even after a disconnection / reconnection I’ve tried it on full release firmware, beta firmware, I’ve tried it with being powered directly from a Nevada power supply, and powered via the AM5 I’ve tried different USB cables…. Anything else to try?
  6. Consensus is that it is probably a different thread! so huge thanks to @Franklin for pointing that out. Also, pleased to report that I have now separated the adapter from the finder! 🙂 Thanks all! 🙂
  7. Thanks Peter I’ve spoken with FLO - even with the focus at its innermost it’s not in focus (needs to go in further) - the chap at FLO has the same set up and he’s sent me a photo - my adapter isn’t in far enough… thanks for the tip with hair dryer and cold water I’ll try that!
  8. Ok. So this isn’t going well! I tried heating the end of the finder with a hairdryer to see if that would help. I’ve now threaded the adapter on - it went a little bit further, but nowhere near far enough…. And guess what - now it’s stuck! Tips on how to loosen it (before it goes in the bin!) looking at the two holes in the top of the thread I presume there’s some kind of tool to help - what would that be?
  9. trying to screw adapter into my straight thru finder so I can attach my ZWO camera. Bought the adapter from FLO - it’s definitely the right one, but can’t screw it in far enough to reach focus. I know it’s “user error”. Tried some dry PTFE spray on the threads but that hasn’t worked. any other thoughts? Kev
  10. Do you happen to know which specific enclosure you bought? Would you have any pictures please? Sorry to jump on this thread but I’m seriously thinking about going this route.
  11. This has turned into a really interesting discussion - thank you for all your contributions
