Popular Post Alec Posted November 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 28, 2019 Finally all finished, just need a clear night. Mount is a IOptron Cem25p, Scope WO Z61, Imaging camera ZWOASI 294mc pro colour, ZWO mini guide scope with zwo120 guide cam all controlled via ASIAIR. The ASIAIR and camera cooler run on a Talent lipo pack mounted between the finder led and the guide cam and the only way to balance this mount . The mount is powered on a separate Talent power pack. Cable management, 1 single wire from ASI Air to the mount. Software runs on a cheap Huwaei Tab 3 and also controls mount via sky Safari. Only electric needed is to recharge my power packs 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿 +RonC, Bassinghamobservatory, +seven_legs and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is, the cem25 is a right pig to balance once you start adding guide scopes on the side. By adding the power bank and ASIAIR on the top to the left it balances out the guide cam perfectly and keeps it neat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the future Altair Astro will be supplying a small tri pier and I will buy one then I’m done. Time to start on the fixed rig. That will be a ASIAIR pro once released 👍🏿 Bottletopburly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tri pier they had a demo version at the Astro show, just more compact than my standard tripod. The ASI Air pro is using the Pi4 has various outputs for dew heaters, a cnc aluminium housing that can be bolted to the rig and eventually will have ASiLive stacking software that I’m meant to test, once we have clear skies (only pc based atm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Graham Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Nice looking rig you have put together there Alec. You must be pleased with how it has turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 Yes I’m rather pleased with it. Biggest problem is balancing it. It’s near but not 100%. Going to have to mount some form of balance weights on the dovetail bar and possibly the main balance bar but at 90 degree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
