    ah your link now works so maybe a lag on the SGL server maybe needs approval by a mod

    You are slewing at quite a fast rate and to me sounds acceptable no grinding noises apart from the dog who does not like it. Could well be resonance from the belt?

    I did have a look on MantisBT and had seen your help request and saw that you where in safe hands. great you got it sorted

    Same for the Eq5 mount only 1 mounting hole for the plate alebeit it does have a wedge to locate the plate in a groove on the mount as per Malc look for a better support. that has some lateral play to take up the slack in the belt. maybe bring out the metalwork skills and make up a bottom plate out of aluminium.

    What ISO setting are you using as 800 is a starting point for the 600D

    I bought mine premade from an SGL member and works fine. Tom the man behind astroeq has stopped manufacture at the onset of Covid the only route is to source one premade second hand or build one with Arduino Mega the schematic is and relevant info is on the website.

    Mine's still a work in progress as use Astroeq at the moment. Maybe ask on the Onstep forum?

    maybe use your phone and record the noise and post here to determine if motor or mount noise as In Dec as only move in that axis as the worm gear has a little backlash movement if the same as an EQ5 but the EQ3 I am not OK with it's configuration

    a little bit of flexure so the belt can't jump a tooth not like a timing belt on a car. Or a guitar string it sings

    The OP has tried during daylight as above so to me maybe an issue as per say My ST80 and needed to add a 50mm extension into the Focuser to achieve focus
  20. fozzybear
    how are you attaching the camera to the ST102? and have you any photo's of the scope and camera attached to help resolve this. " I have tried a number of combinations between the telescope and camera with no success". What do you mean
  21. fozzybear
    like mine one is longer than the other so don't worry
  22. fozzybear
    it all depends on the placement of the steppers as you have a custom mount not relative to the pulley configuration.
  23. fozzybear
    a word of caution did not read properly as you are using gt2 pulleys as mine are MXL's
  24. fozzybear
    My pulleys are 40 and 15 with 1x61 and 1x64 teeth belts with a 6.35mm width you could measure the belt length with maybe a simple piece of string around both pulleys and then lookup on the chart on beltingonline
  25. fozzybear
    this is on my Eq5 mount with above belts
