Here's an image of the riccardi reducer on the APM, I thought I might as well post this as there has been a few Pm's and emails regarding this setup.. This is also how it sits on a 2.5" feather touch.. On the APM 107 fitted with a 3" focuser it needs to be internally mounted which means the main OTA will need shortening.. APM can do this for you.
My counter weight is a little crude but works a treat - as is the hard wood spacers under the ST80
Hey,
I'm taking advantage of the COVID19 days to make a jump into Astrophotography (I was a visual freak for 5 years now).
I'm eventually aiming to create a rig similar to yours (cheers it looks amazing 🤩).
I have an APM LZOS 100/800 with a 3" ZTA focuser and an M63 riccardi reducer like yours. going to mount on a Skywacher Heq5 .
Is there a chance I will need to send my scope in to APM to have it shortened to reach focus with a rig similar to yours (Mono camera, filter wheel etc)? The focuser on my scope has 180mm of back focus I'm kinda hoping I won't need to go surgical on my OTA.
Clear skies!

Hey,
Thanks to your reply I was able to connect my GP!
What is the USB hub you use that happens to work with the Atik? (Because like the 2 you have mentioned, mine doesn't..)
Thank you!
