Hi there everyone, I’m new and this is my first post, I apologise if I do something wrong I am very unfamiliar with it all.
i recently decided to stop admiring DSO’s on the tv alone and to dig up my telescope and mount which I never got much use out of (my fault).
i’m on a very tight budget and had seen people had made their own wedge, I’m about to start building it but I heard that if I do this it would no longer track effectively due to an update in the firmware? I’m using a WiFi adapter and the Synscan app. My aim is to be able to use my Alt az goto with a dslr for DSO photography. I’d be very disheartened if making a wedge won’t work any advice would be greatly appreciated. My Skywatcher Alt Az Is around 7 years old but in perfect working order, I have a d70 f700 skywatcher telescope attached to it currently.
I've attached some images of my system.
thanking you in advance
Sunny
