Bottletopburly Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 How big is the base on a polemaster ? Ie the base that fits into the adapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bottletopburly Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 Here's my thinking if i get a polemaster adapter if it is a 2" fit or get adapter made i could use the 2" adapter that comes as standard with the 200p drill a hole in the side of adapter then use a right angled usb cable use a compression adapter to hold my qhy5 then once my lens comes for the qhy then the camera will be mounted on the polar hole then either sharpcap or phd2 polar align ,just need to know how big the base of a polemaster is ,or how big the adapter is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Hi David the boss diameter on the base is 35.20 mm. The adaptor that stays on the mount is retained by 3 very small grub screws that are visible in the photo, the mounting boss is attached to the base of the camera as you can see. Hope it helps, just pm me if you need further info Alec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alec Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 David it dos’nt screw on. The adaptor attached to the back of the camera is retained by the 3 screws. This fits into the mount hole where the polar scope can be seen. Just looking back at your original post, not sure on PhD but this won’t work in Sharpcap. The camera will be fixed to the mount and Sharpcap requires a 90 degree rotation of the stars. In in the pole master software this is taken care of using 5 graphic circle points that you rotate on the screen not the mount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
