Yes, they will work perfectly fine, just dont plug them into an extension anywhere that has a surge protector, as that can stop them working..👍🏻

Your welcome…👍🏻

Images from last night put into video with music.. Handheld iPhone 10 second exposures, but still turned out pretty well. Aurora Video short.mp4

Check this out and slow it down between 3D and 45 seconds and watch the Aurora flashing in the sky, it’s incredible, Taken with my Oculus mono AllSky camera 2024-10-10To2024-10-11.mp4

Still going strong here now…

@malc-c might be able to help, this sort of fine soldering work thing is right up his street..👍🏻

Maybe Skywatcher will consider having something like this fitted as standard in the future… If it works as expected it will make the EQ8 mounts, even with the upgrade Packge a good solid workhorse of a mount, at a good price, I sold my old EQ8 because of the backlash issues, but I did know about this company and the work they were doing, but at that time you had to send your mount to them in Ireland to get the work done, there was no DIY route, this has obviously now changed, and that’s good…👍🏻

Pictures of the new worm blocks…? I fitted there new brass DEC clutch to my EQ8 some years ago, and it was far better than the factory fitted one Can You buy these new blocks and fit them yourself, or do they have to be fitted at FLO…? The EQ8 is very very poor on the backlash front, so these should be a great upgrade.

Great, glad they will help, funny as I ordered another different length one, the 30mm, (i already have the 36mm and the 17mm), the same day as you and that came today too…

How did you manage to knock those 4 corner posts spikes in and keep them perfectly vertical, I have never had success with them as they always via off at odd angles in my experience. And I have used many for fences over the years.. well done if they are, and would love to know your secret… ‘Good job so far..👍🏻

That’s great, I have the new one on the way too…👍🏻

I have gotten hold of a Starlight Xpress Oculus AllSky camera, with the SX Mono Superstar camera, and using the windows based AllSky software, and wondered if anyone has this camera and software, and could share some basic settings to get me going, like exposure length, (although I know this will vary by sky quality), but also stretch factor settings and others too… This software is all new to me as I am used to using a raspberry PI and the Thomas Jacquin allsky software… Thanks for reading…

I “wanna” 10 micron mount, but it ain’t gonna happen…..😂

How on earth can you say that is a bad picture, it’s excellent, 👏🏻👏🏻
