Great build... Am currently building one using the Altair Astro housing and wondered where you got the dew prevention ring from ? 

 

Where would I find the Altair Astro housing..?

They are a new venture from Altair ....3D printed and fantastic built, a friend of mine was having a chat  with Ian about something else and it came up in conversation so my mate very kindly bought me one. I guess they should be available from the Altair website really soon but at the moment it needs a phone call to the Altair guys I think .... Sorry I can't be of more help....

This is the unit .... has two ports on bottom for usb and jack for dewband...

also a nice robust quick release sliding mounting plate on back and a screw fitting on bottom for attaching to a tripod ....

 

really impressed .... just need to sort the correct lens for my camera now ..
