There, better :')

Hi Carl, Your version looks much nicer. Are you using Fusion360 CAD software? I tried to learn it but it seems to have a steep learning curve but it's very powerful. www.tinkercad.com is much easier

Wait, I put the slits the wrong way :'-D

Really nice Chris, And I couldn’t agree more about the Mach2; it is an absolutely incredible mount. I’ve also gone down the same path of going unguided and the Mach2 just shines, and I’ve also

Wow, first light!

I'm excited to have finally gotten some data this summer! Below is the writeup I did on Astrobin. You can visit there for a high resolution image. This was my first time doing unguided imaging, and

Carl, Hope you don't mind me tweaking your original design of your CP4/5 cap. I modified to make it look like original Hirose plug to be able turn the cap and lock it. I've attached an STL file. It's

Thanks for the feedback Peter, I always have the best feeling when sharing something useful to others. Also great print, choice of color and picture! Carl

Thanks Carl for providing STL files for your design. I printed the caps for Keypad and Power connectors. Peter

Howdy everyone - I was installing a new OTA onto my AP1100 mount recently, and while I was checking balance I discovered that my RA gearbox was no longer fully releasing from the worm when the cam
