Re: LiFePO4 battery
Ok. i.e. you want to say that if I hook the cable to a rigid tensioning mechanism (for example on screws) there will be no backlash? I can check this, it is easier to do than rubber rollers under Alt

Re: LiFePO4 battery
Youngs Modulus changes by 5% from -10¡ãC to +25.... more than likely there were other things that were changing due to temperature. g.

Re: LiFePO4 battery
And we're talking about almost zero backlsash. Otherwise, there's no point in investing in harmonic gearboxes. All the best to everyone. I'm going away for a long time due to a complete redesign of

Re: LiFePO4 battery
No, it does not work without a spring. Tested at different temperatures. At low temperatures, additional spring tension is needed.

Re: LiFePO4 battery
Hello.... would you mind please passing along the name? Thanks. So - indeed the spring will introduce some backlash. Ideally, if it is the proper spring tension (extension), it will be minimal but

Moderated ServoCat on harmonic gearboxes
Go for it, gentlemen.

Re: LiFePO4 battery
Yes. The ServoCAT can handle up to 16V without a problem. Gary Myers

Re: UC22 and Argo Navis for imaging
Thanks Frederic. I don¡¯t use NINA and instead use sharpcap for EAA so wonder if it is detected by sharpcap via ASCOM device hub. Mike

Re: LiFePO4 battery
And one more thing. It works perfectly on Az, and you understand that the result was worth such a big investment of time. As for money, in China the prices are relatively reasonable. For two gearboxes
Re: LiFePO4 battery
Alas, you have to think with your own head, and not rely on the manual. The main source of backlash on Alt is a cable on a spring. Therefore, such a design in principle cannot be made without play.

Re: UC22 and Argo Navis for imaging
Hi Mike, everything is standard: the wanderer software as well as the USB driver (you need both). Once installed and configured the first time (wanderer empire and usb driver with com port) NINA

Re: UC22 and Argo Navis for imaging
Thanks Frederic. I looked at the Wanderer last year when it was still pretty new and I remember someone on cloudy nights indicating that the ASCOM drivers were not working correctly. Are you using

Re: LiFePO4 battery
This battery and ServoCat are on harmonic gearboxes. Go for it, gentlemen.

Re: UC22 and Argo Navis for imaging
Just as an fyi Mike this is the rotator I use #19630 - Pyxis LE - Camera Field Rotator optecinc.usThe Wanderer looks nice as well. Especially the price. What I can say for the Pyxis LE is it's being

Re: UC22 and Argo Navis for imaging
Hi Mike, regarding low profile rotator you can have a look at wanderer astro ( https://www.wandererastro.com/en/h-col-126.html ). I got their mini version for my equatorial classic astrophoto rig. It

Re: UC22 and Argo Navis for imaging
It just means I'm outside for the entire session, rotating the camera, changing the filter on the slide, tweaking the focuser and collimation, checking for dew, launching another live stack. No

Re: UC22 and Argo Navis for imaging
Hi, My approche is more manual. With my 20" f/4 Obsession and CMOS camera (ASI294MMPro), I take 5 minute live stacks, with 2 second exposures for each filter then manually rotate the camera using a

You need derotator software for the rotator. Mickey

Re: UC22 and Argo Navis for imaging
I had tried a Pegasus Astro field rotator (the first version) but could never reach focus with all my other stuff in my image train (like starizona nexus reducer/corrector). I ended up selling it
