Dual Function Guidescope for Star Adventurer

[mightymonoped]

Have been playing with various configurations of this over the past few weeks. I think this is the one that has legs ongoing. 

Have acquired a universal  “L” bracket for the Canon 60d and an Arca-Swiss clamp. The Zwo Mini Guidescope and camera are mounted on the Arca-Swiss clamp to the side of the camera. 

This now serves two functions. 

1. Fine Polar alignment using Sharpcap Pro
2 Guiding for the SA when using the Samyang 135mm or greater. 

All of this will add value to future setups as my current plan includes... 

SA using 14mm, 50mm and 135mm
addition of WO Redcat (for use on SA and...)
Addition of EQ6-Pro (when in permanent residence)
Addition of Zwo ASI1600MM-Pro
Use of existing SW ED80

I use the same guide scope and camera (mine’s the mini version) with my Star Adventurer. Being able to polar align the mount using SharpCap is such a useful feature. Your setup looks good with the matching red colours! 😀
