Or print your own and fill it with lead shot or sand. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3237564 -
If you have a 3d printer (or know someone who does) https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1232862 or this (which I think is better) https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1232862

New to Astronomy - new Telescope
kendg replied to George Sinanis's topic in Getting Started Equipment Help and Advice
Personally I would go with http://skywatcher.com/product/bk-mak-102-azgt/ or https://www.rothervalleyoptics.co.uk/skywatcher-skymax-102-az-gti-wifi-telescope.html Both are motorized go-to scopes and will have the least amount of frustration. I think the biggest problem will be finding these in stock. -
Looks to be milliseconds since Jan 1, 1970. If this helps (from google) In python import datetime readable = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(1603194392).isoformat() print(readable) # 2020-10-20T13:46:32+02:00

Can anyone 3d print me a gear??
kendg replied to Lordspace's topic in Getting Started Equipment Help and Advice
The best option would be if you had the stl file for the part (or the gcode), then it would be no problem to get it printed. Failing that, all the dimensions would be needed so that it could be made up in a 3d design program and then the stl code generated could be turned into gcade for a 3d printer. -
Pretty much that's it. Move the camera on the ball joint without moving the Star Adventurer. Just remember to turn on the SA.

Maybe in ABS or nylon. PLA with 100% fill "might" be OK. I don't think PLA would stand up, but I'd love to be proved wrong. -

This mignt be close to what you want. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2496996 -
I use astrotortilla. Seems to work OK as it downloads the relevant datafiles. Just make sure you download them before you go.
