Hi All

A batch of mesu 200 have arrived in the Uk so I am not the only one with a new toy :)

A real baby compared to my old beast  but I am sure I will get used to it

Need to design a pier and dismantle the old so will be a few weeks before we are live , but will give me time to get used to it

Once you get used to how 'small' it is (Just how BIG was your last mount, Harry?) I am sure you will love it. Have you tried reading the Mesu specific manual that I have produced for the mount to save you reading through the 236 pages of the SiTech manual? Just a thought!

I also received mine yesterday.  I am going to do a thread as to how I do the metalwork to mount it with the MESU Supplied plate.

Can't believe how heavy it is!

@harry page  Bern drove the short distance up to Nottingham after dropping yours off in Stamford.  Not really had chance to do much with it yet - the metalwork starts tomorrow ;)

Hi

Just wondering what to power the mount with , anybody use a mount hub pro

Needed a small power station for my old mount , hoping something smaller will surfice ?

 

Harry

Congratulations on your new mount. I've had mine since June last year and its been great.

I use a 12volt 5amp power brick to power it, seems to do the job just fine.

Cheers, Ian

Hi

Her is a pic Little monster ver The beast :)

And yes many thanks for your short manual been a great help ( Even though I have read Sitech ona as well , because I am mad :happy7:)

Just a note for things that did not work for me

The ascom link for the Sitechexe 0.90p did not install the ascom driver for me , but then downloaded the 0.91T version and this worked fine

When configuring Sitechexe and I had the mount conected I could not select the correct COM port ( Did not show at all )  so disconected mount restarted

Sitechexe and was able to select the right com port ( 3 in my case ) and then all was well

It might be just my set up ( windows 10 dell laptop )

Again many thaks for yout hard work

Regards

Harry

Hello Harry,

I'm just using the standard cables, the plug isn't great as it doesn't go all the way into the socket on the scitech. So far its working ok, but could be better.

Cheers, Ian.

I have just got a mount hub pro and intending using it on my Mesu which is due in March, and I'm pretty impressed with it thus far.  You can power up to 15A on 12 ports, 4 of which are permanently on and 8 switchable using the supplied software.  It certainly seems to provide a very tidy solution to a lot of cabling.  It's also handy having the 4 port due controller built in as well, which again is fully controllable in software, and with the manual dials.

Congrats on what would appear to be mini-mount compared to what you're used to.

Great stuff Harry, look forward to seeing it up and running as I can see no reason yet why my one shouldn't, but if course will never doubt anything in this hobby.
