    A quick release clamp and finder shoe for my new mount connector plus a special cable from pierro astro for directly connecting an atlas eqg mount with a pc, removing the mount's handheld controller ....

    @toofaruphillim afraid those old cameras only connect to windows pcs - for example via canon software... clear skies!

    Well, tbh the first half of October was quite okay but it all broke down about 10 days ago- only rain since. this summer i was thinking about giving up, too- but hey , you need something to spend your money on, and astro gear is perfect for that 😃

    i have a skywatcher f4 200/800. in my case, i need to mount an extension as the fokus point is farther away from the scope.

    @DSOBug Beautiful gear, looks pretty expensive! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    IMHO they look like Musks starlink satellites. They get launched in bulk...

    My lowest price astrostuff so far: 1/4 inch screws for my dovetail!😊

    Hi! For all the noobs (like me ) out there: - The more your polar alignment is off, the more your pictures will suffer from field rotation - the higher your declination (more towards polaris) you are, the bigger your field rotation - http://celestialwonders.com/tools/rotationMaxErrorCalc.html will calculate your error for you - Example: If your guide star is 1° from your target, your scope has 800mm focal length, declination is 45° and your subs are 2 minutes, you'll get 3 microns of star trails if you have a large alignment error of 60 minutes=1° - By playing around, you'll get a good feeling about how short your subs have to be Clear skies!

    I have a 2014 Atlas EQG (EQ6) mount and i am experiencing loss of power supply when slewing fast. Connector is a simple 5,5mm outside/2.1mm inside jack. Anybody else having these issues? Solutions? I am thinking about fixing the power cord with a velcro strap... Clear skies!

    @ONIKKINEN no, has not been serviced for 9 years, i'm the first owner 💀 However, last night i got down below one ArcSecond of error with phd2. Backlash is at 2300 seconds, and the power port and the rs232 port seem to have issues... so yes, i need to get it serviced this winter

    @Oddsocks thank you !

    Alright, thanks for the input! I will get into backlash . It's an EQ-6 from 2014. Balance was way out at first, i corrected but maybe thats still an issue. Thanks!!

    Hi Stuart, thanks for your input-and no, there's only a power support box
  21. uhb1966
    That is PRECISELY the thing Malc-c !! Unfortunately, i've already ordered the other 2 cables. But i guess i will get that cable too. Thank you Malc!
  22. uhb1966
    I dare say : excellent !

    Okay, so i have a vintage QHY8 camera that is cooled, but does not report the temperature. How long should i let the cam cool down before operation? I'm asking because it seems like the camera gets its best performance after at least 2 hours of cooling... and the difference is enormous ! Ambient temp was relatively mild (15° centigrade)

    I will look into the OAG idea. Thanks!!
  25. uhb1966
    And a BIG "Thank you" to everybody who tried to help me 😙👍
