I have found it to be hit or miss. Many times it is good enough for 5 min unguided, sometimes need a pempro run. Just depends how lucky you are 😜

Here is my gear in the observatory. I also have another 1200 and 900 for portable field use. Dean Virus-free.www.avast.com

I found it best to sight Polaris thru the mount before putting in the finder scope.

I used this reducer with my 10” AstroTech and it did fine, but with a 4020 CCD chip. Doubt it would work well for much bigger size. Some of my pics with it are at www.astroimagers.com/DeanS Dean

Just wondering what the latest is on about when these mounts may start to ship? Not pushing at all. Thanks Dean Virus-free. www.avast.com

I have done a similar test using both methods. My RAPAS is calibrated well after doing some Pempro polar alignment runs. The Polemaster is attached to a modified sight hole plug. The Polemaster does a

I also have this problem but found a solution that works. The problem seems to be hold the bar at the correct angle when try to start the threads right? What I do now it to install the bar >before< pu

Try changing it when NOT connected to the mount.

I built mine out of 1/2” and 3/4” Baltic birch plywood. RA is same size as the shipping box it came in, using the same size foam. Dec is larger so I can lay it in with the saddle on turned 90* using s

Great, that is why it has been guiding so well. Thanks, Dean

I need some help figuring this out. Been a very long time since my last math class The SkyX shows guiding errors in pixels, but min move settings are in secs. Suppose to be a way to change the guider

I have mine so I don’t feel any play. But I use the larger gear in the worm gear box to check if it is too tight. By turning this back and forth with your fingers you can easily tell if you have it to

Easy to handle since it breaks down into 2 pieces. Well worth getting more stability under your scope. I use a 10” astrotech truss RC on it and it handles a good breeze. Dean

I went from a Mach1 to the 900 for portable use when I felt I needed a bit more capacity. No regrets, the 900 is a great mount. I actually have 2 now. One I bought new, and other used. Some great deal

Looks easy enough. Roland, did you say we will not lose our PEC if we rotate the worm with the paddle like in the video? Thanks

The RAPAS needs to initially be adjusted after you do a good drift alignment the first time. Then you recal on a star.

Why was park 1 not designed to be on the other side then?

Also look at the parallax piers. Have decent amount of adjustments for level. Can order any height. Dean
