Hello there,

New member; so guess I’d better say hello! I’m learning astrophotography with a DSLR at the moment, and am hoping to have a go at building a barn door tracker soon.

Clear skies!

Building your own barn door tracker is an interesting project, will you be doing a manual one or electronic? There is a link to my barn door build in my signature,

Welcome, Anton. I too am just getting started in the hobby, though I've owned a dob reflector for many years. I"m stoked to get moving, but the weather has been horrendous here in Ottawa, Ontario this Novemeber, so I've not had much time to put to the test everything I've learned. Good luck to you!

I have just fitted an adjustable setting circle to my dob, and improved the timing on my analogue barn door - http://leeseafish.uk/AstronomyMountsBarn.html. Hopefully the guide to fine tuning a barn door will help.
