I've always wondered if something like this could be used. https://www.arceurotrade.co.uk/Catalogue/Workholding/Rotary-Tables/4-Rotary-Table-with-Stepper-Motor They also do a larger 6" version.

Not wrong at all, I never realised until I did some research that NB integration is best done non-linear. Improved the stars a bit and slightly stronger Oiii, it's a winner.

Super image, well worth the bugs and dew problems.

Looks superb, lovely colours and detail. -
Stunning image, well done.

Half round hand file and a lot of elbow grease.

At a guess it might be image tilt or collimation.

Sounds like you need some software "limit switches" for max/min position. I know you can do it with the Lakeside control box but no idea if Ekos can do something similar.
-
Stunning, lovely surface detail and good proms.

Hi Vin, I use Ekos with a Lakeside focuser. If it can't find focus after a number of tries it goes back to its initial position and stops everything. It should be the same with other focusers.

Well done, especially in Bortel 8 skies with a stock Canon.
-
Well done.

Very promising, hope you get more soon.

That's a pain, my trial ran out the other day. Looks like an extra €46 then.

Excellent, lovely detail in the nebula.

Stunning, probably the first prom images I can see some real depth to. Makes me realise how massive these are.

Mac OS X Sky-Watcher EQ6R-Pro Stellarium
MarkAR replied to AstroRookie's topic in Getting Started Equipment Help and Advice
I'm also on Mac with KStars/Ekos. My AZEQ6 has a USB port and I connect with that via a standard cable, in Ekos I set the baud rate to 115200 and it connects fine. No need for any mucking about with EQMOD or INDILIB etc. -
Late spring collection M13, M61 with SN and Whale/Hockey stick

Nice collection of DSO's -
If you can find the specifications for your coma corrector it should might have the back focal distance listed. I think they are normally 55mm. The Atik 414EX has 13mm back focus so deduct that from the 55mm gives you 42mm for spacers and filter wheel.

Rocol Sapphire 2 is supposed to be good against corrosion and looks to be for outdoor use.

Lovely image, I think you've got the colour and saturation just right.
-
Very nice, reminds me to re-do my effort.

That looks great to me, core and colour are good.
