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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

That's a great way to do it ... g.

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

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

Hi Gabriel, and yes short exposures using some form of deep sky lucky imaging work very well with dobs doing Astrophotography. If I ever get back at it again, the move to Fl has really set my time

I use the Optec De-rotator system and watch the time of the exposures.? Mickey

Hi Tony, You have some options: Lucky imaging takes a bunch of short exposures and you align/derotate post prcessing. Let the camera software align and stack your image. I use option #2 since the

I limit my exposures to 10-20s depending on where in the sky i image, it helps that i live 63 degrees north. My setup is already sky fog limited after only 20 seconds despite using a DSLR, so taking

What do you dob astrophotographers do for field rotation? Do you have a rotator or do you just limit exposure times? I have an 18" SC/AN equipped dob and I'm looking into getting started myself.

Frédéric, I just use my imaging camera for the 2-star alignment step. ?I have a remote handpad to slew the scope close enough with help of a telrad and center the star on my remote laptop screen.

Hi Sevan, I am the guy with an UC22 Servocat / AN trying to start astrophoto with my dobson. Servocat is connected to the PC in USB (servocat 3) with one of the ASCOM servocat driver. Regarding how
