I have a ankle weight wrapped around the back so that it isn't so front heavy ,but I like the idea of counter weighting the camera, filter wheel will try that.
-
How do you have your scopes rotated so the camera sits on top ,hangs on the side,or hangs underneath? Thanks
-
Hi so the 12v as working but I dont think the sink and fan can get rid of heat quick enough it is blowing heat but camera temp not cooling , so new bigger sink and combined fan turning up tomorrow .

Yeah I dont want to have worry about condensation , I have rewired to take my 12v plug so will see how it handles it without sensor atm although i do have one if required . With my eq5 pro mount anything over 120 sec subs produces egg shaped stars and with the small pixel 178mm its prob never going to get any better .

Wheres the camera ? I'm trying to get around 2 degrees .
-
Yeah looks like I'm resorting to a 12v 3 amp plug ,using a small fan trying to keep the weight down as dont want to start tilting ,haven't connected controler yet not sure where to put sensor probe .

The 7.4v battery couldn’t cool below 17 degrees (Ambient) so I will have to wait until I get the 12v power supply sorted And a bracket and larger sink fitted . this Astrophotography def test your patience.

Low voltage battery only 7.4v so not running at max .I do have a control unit but will prob only use if needed (12v) i tried it last night and it only took camera temp down to 11.6 degrees that was 5 below ambient. But going to image tonight and just see how it goes . If it goes well then a good tidy up and lagging will be next.
