Just ventilate the space, and you would not need them at all, why treat the symptoms when you could stop the cause....👍🏼

When you have this mod, you have one of the two filters in these cameras removed, they both cut IR but the one that’s removed also blocks much of the Ha, hence why it’s removed, the one left in the camera cuts IR very well, and for that reason is left in the camera, so you will only need the CLS version and NOT the CLS CCD version....if you have both filters removed from the camera as @tooth_dr has pointed out it is a full spectrum mod and IR cut would then be needed.... HTH 👍🏼😀

What I have found is a Baader M43 to M42 adapter, this is specifically for these scopes and allows M42 accessories to be fitted, if you look as the pieces that come on the scope, you will see that there is an M43 thread just after the two largest spacers, see red arrow on right of image below, from this point on you can then fit M42 adapters...

Hi, No I am still a bit confused where all this is concerned....the focus point is apparently at 151mm behind the back edge of the focuser housing. I saw your other thread about this backspacing issue, and see you have the reducer....the backspace for this is 56mm, but not sure where the reducer goes, directly on the back of the scope or after some spacers, the issue with Taks, is they use non standard thread sizes, which makes betting spacers really awkward...the threads on the reducer are M56 on the scope side, and M52 on the camera side, but I can’t find spacers with either of these threads....☹️

Absolutely beautiful, so much detail in mono images, much more than I have seen before on this target.... 👍🏼👍🏼

It just seems a lot of hassle for you to get all connected, and then have issues, when there must be an easier way with the kit you have... 👍🏼

Do you have to try and connect the Synscan wifi to both your PC and to the RPI....? Why CANT both the mount and the RPI connect to your home wifi...?

If you decide to order from RVO, make sure you email them first, as they have a big habit of showing things in stock and then not actually having them, they are renowned for this..... 😮👍

The ASI120MC USB 2.0 version, is not longer supported by ASI, there is a firmware upgrade that came out a while ago, but dont think it helps much with some OS’s. The fact that operating systems and imaging software has moved on, and the driver for the ASI120 has not, is part of the issue... ☹️👍

Yes, that’s the sort of thing I was referring too, look on Amazon too, as there are some on there....and cheaper...

It’s a common issue, we are certainly not alone...? If you do a search for camera angle adjusters, you may get some ideas.... 👍🏼

Hi, Yes this is an issue with fully screwed on accessories, I had this same issue, so bought a 2” Baader clicklock, so then had 2” nosepiece on the camera and could alter within the clicklock... Then on my newer Tak FSQ85 it came with a camera angle rotator, which are available for other scopes...but not cheap... HTH 👍🏼

The Pegasus one is very good, so I have heard, but it’s wwwaaaayyyyy overpriced, as all the Pegasus kit is...... 😮👍🏼

It was a genuine Altair camera that I was trying to use...GPCAM 130 mono.. 👍🏼

Yes but the distance is the same....

Hi, I was looking at this data sheet for the Takahashi FS60cb, and am confused by the two measurements circled in red, why are they different....surely they should be the same, and am I correct in thinking that this is the measurement of where the sensor or eyepiece should be to get focus... Can someone explain... 😀👍

Ok, many thanks 😀😀

Either the ZWO or Primaluce Lab or as you mention the Pegasus focuscube.... all work well with INdI.... 👍🏼

This all seems a far cry from the original post topic.... 🤔

So all lorry drivers are overweight....and have a bad diet....talk about stereotyping..... 😡😡

You need to set the mount up in a different wifi mode, so you can connect the mount the the Astroberry hotspot, or your home network, whichever one you use...aren’t there two modes on the mount, ? One of them will be to connect this way...the other one that does not show the Synscan network I think......then no need to keep swapping... 👍🏼

When you have a working copy of Astroberry on an SD card, just connect the SSD drive via USB and then use the built in copy feature in the menu, and it will give you an exact copy on SSD to then boot from, then keep the SD card as a back up....no need to flash with a new version.... 👍🏼

If running from a remote location with no internet, and you are close to the mount, which you probably would be, then the internal hotspot set to 5ghz would be suffice, then your laptop would connect directly to this, you could still use the dongle on the RPI but you would then have to configure the hotspot signal to be output through the dongle, which adds more complications, but either way the internal wifi of the laptop would be fine, as long as it works with 5ghz... 👍😀

Also this one is excellent and faster....but a little more difficult to get working with the RPI... 👍 https://www.amazon.co.uk/BrosTrend-1200Mbps-Wireless-10-9-10-14-AC1/dp/B01BV91L7Y/ref=sr_1_8?adgrpid=53509367259&dchild=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA88X_BRDUARIsACVMYD_gO4JllwqID7ug5L0OhjsjcSr4UeMDoeOxysavjYv3yvUxUXx4g8gaAtJzEALw_wcB&hvadid=259134785219&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9041125&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=9483005099257091893&hvtargid=kwd-316334266443&hydadcr=25429_1819498&keywords=brostrend+wifi+adapter&qid=1609686497&sr=8-8&tag=googhydr-21

Well I already had the Pegasus UPB when I moved to the RPI, so that acts as my USB 2 and 3 hub, and powers all my kit, and the RPI is powered from one of the USB ports 5v 3 amp, now 3amp may seem low, but I have never had an issue with this, as the guys from Pegasus told me that it would be fine,... As for Wifi dongle it is this one, although I bought on an offer... https://www.amazon.co.uk/BrosTrend-Wireless-Network-Receiver-AC2/dp/B01GC8XH0S/ref=sr_1_7?adgrpid=53509367259&dchild=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA88X_BRDUARIsACVMYD_gO4JllwqID7ug5L0OhjsjcSr4UeMDoeOxysavjYv3yvUxUXx4g8gaAtJzEALw_wcB&hvadid=259134785219&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9041125&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=9483005099257091893&hvtargid=kwd-316334266443&hydadcr=25429_1819498&keywords=brostrend+wifi+adapter&qid=1609686497&sr=8-7&tag=googhydr-21
