Hi Roth I used the 5v 2.4 a output on my lipo4 and had the low voltage flash up on the asiair app so I now use outxe power bank 5v 3 amp usb out and haven’t had a low voltage warning yet my asiair usb devices are eqmod,2x asi cams,asi filter wheel . Hope that helps

Cool makes it a bit easier to figure it out .only prob I have now is all my extenders are 1.25 not 2 inch lol.

So the sensor site 12mm back from the tip of the camera nose (red)

Well I've measured 55mm to the centre of the coma to the sensor, that pic looks like the start of the case of the coma to the sensor.think I will post pic with ruler on it .

Just spoke to the shop where I purchased coma for the correct placement. Camera ,filter wheel, coma, scope.? Camera ---------55mm------coma . Is this right it makes sense and I have managed to achieve this . Thanks

0Hi all can you cast your eyes over these pier head plates pics and see if theres any potential issues I'm not seeing before I get to far .😬 the top plates has yet to have a centerpiece cut out for the eq5 mount. Many thanks Just seen myself bottom plate need a central hole for the eq5 fastener bolt🤯

Busy drilling the plates for mount pier go to get the spirit from shed to clean steel plates and under up finding a visitor😍 love my garden and the wildlife we get . Just a baby this years

I do love my postman even in his shorts

Just trying to hunt down someone with a drill now the hole cutter £18 but needs 80 rpm not sure I could do that by eye

🤣🤣🤣 metal worker got back to me for price for drilling 13 holes ,u better sit down £168 +vat . Looks like I'm doing the holes myself then lol

Sounds like a great club I may have to pop over one day . I'm going to another fairly local club tomorrow 🤞🏻 their a nice bunch ,is their any def no nos that I should be aware of on my first visit ?

So far 3 mtr pipe £10 4 threaded rods 75cm and bolts washers £16 2x 8mm steel discs £10 awaiting price for drilling holes looks like it’s gonna be less than £100 😀 should I run power ?

Hi all so I'm having something similar to the top of this made up should I go for 4 bolts or 3 bolts ? 8mm steel so it's not going to flex with either of them . Advice please . Thanks

Contemplating getting the eq5 extender and just cutting a piece out the middle then weld back together £74 , or just build a fixed pier £100-£150 app.

Any chance of a pic ?

I did wander if the eq6 extender would work 8 inch .

Hi all Using a 130pds for imaging pushes the scope back a bit that means it gets close to the pod legs , looking at a extender to raise the scope mount about 4-5 would eleviate this problem unfortunately the eq5 extender is 70 cm. which means u could well need a stall to place scope on . Has anyone found away or a extender to raise it 10-15 cm only. I do have a welder mate but this could be a little crude ( hes a banger racer) . Thanks

im losing some image when in fits 🤔

bubble stack.TIF

so my first real dso and its only stacked no processing and a lot of images weren't great so not used ended up with 57 lights and 10 darks . BUT WELL CHUFFED 😀🥳 bubble stack.TIF bubble stack.TIF

Hi all looking for a reasonable priced oiii filter 1.25 for imaging I have all baader rgb and Ha filter atm but I'm not precious on that although all looking similar 😍 . Thanks Si

My scooe cover just arrived not another camera unfortunately lol. A coma corrector 🤯 I can put anything else in my image train I have had to cut down my 2-1.25 reducer already just to get focus I will have to drop my filter wheel ( if I'm only doing 1 filter I guess it dont matter). Baader mark iii ordered 🤫

No corrector being used .I know the bubble wasnt central so I will work on that next time , I think I will just focus on this target I believe it's about for a while, I have 5 days astroing in northumberland park 20th oct so nice dark skies should I still use the filter . Ps my scope camera has just arrived so will be able to leave stuff out and save time, should I recalibrate each night ?

I'm ironing 🤫 ,I'm not gonna look until monday thats my next day off work, should I be looking at oxygen filter or scope/cam to small to benefit?

Meridian flip 🤯 doh😭
