Hi! I need to know if 1200GTO will work well for astrometric work (focal lenght Bisque? Thank you. Yves Laroche

Hi everyone! I think it will be a good idea to put a schematic and instructions about protection with external power supplies and GTO mounts in the technical support section. It will be very appreciat

Hi everyone! Does anybody has done imaging with focal lenght of 80 inchs and over without guiding with an 1200GTO or 900GTO? Please let me know exposure time, focal lenght and ccd model. I need this i

Hi everybody! When you have to choose an external power supplies for AP-GTO MOUNTS please check if the CROWBAR OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION is mentioned in the specs. A friend of mine recommended me this sp

Hi! I forgot to mention than Astron power supplies ouput are internally adjustable (11-15 VDC) . By this way, you can put a diode in serial to prevent polarity ( +/-) misconnection and after adjust ou

Normally the CROWBAR OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION will shutoff output for voltage around 16 VDC for a 13.8 VDC operation. This protection, if needed, depends on how many voltage the output transformer is ra

Hi Roland! Do you think possible to add a slew speed rate of 300X , 240X or programmable one to the DC servo controller. I think there will be a better adapted speed for cold weather condition (-30C).
