EQ5 Altitude Bolt, again. Parts Suppliers?
William Jones replied to cuivenion's topic in Discussions - Mounts
My EQ5 Pro Mount has both M8 and M10 altitude bolts. The M10 is at the polar scope end of the mount. -
I have found out what the problem has been. I assumed that the altitude scale on the eq5 Pro Mount May well have been roughly accurate. I set it to approx 52.5 degs. This evening I removed the polar scope and inserted my laser pointer into the aperture expecting the beam to be pretty close to Polaris. It was about 15 degs out!!! so much for skywatchers scale accuracy. I adjusted the altitude still with the laser pointer for guidance. went through the polar alignment procedure in Sharpcap Pro and without any problems I Platé solved and got a good polar alignment. looki

Ah I can see it on your Sharpcap details. 1.56 degs x 1.17 degs. I believe with my setup it is 1.7 degs x 1.3 degs

Guide Scope/Guide Camera FOV Question
William Jones replied to William Jones's topic in Discussions - Cameras
Many thanks Guys -
Hi guys Can anyone help me work out the FOV I am getting when I use my guide scope with guide camera? The kit I have is: BST 50mm mini guide scope (f3.2) 162mm F.L With an Altair Astro GPCAMARO130C guide camera I am hoping the FOV is between 1deg and 2.5degs Thanks
