I would consider getting a used 900 mount for the 14" used visually....photographically it works fine. I have one as well as a 1100. If buying new I would go with the 1100 with a 14" over the Mach II.

I don't have either QHY or ZWO but do have an ATIK camera also. They are made in Portugal and of very high quality. ATIK is located in the UK. The one I have is their OSC camera 490EX which is a round

For remote imaging I use a Meade Giant Field tripod. Originally with my 900 GTO I just drilled and taped holes to attach the mount directly on the flat top of the Meade. Used it that way for years. I

Excellent photo of a rarely photographed object. VERY nice.

My wife and 3 kids are grads or almost grads (one to go) at University of Michigan For years UofM alumni would take photos of them wearing school clothing and hats in interesting places and they would

I am a BETA tester for Sky Safari. I recently noted that after a recent update the time is incorrect and an hour off. You can verify if you have this problem by opening the app and looking at the time

I notified Sky Safari folks about the time issue AND the incorrect time (I am a BETA tester for Sky Safari). They confirmed it and issued an update to correct it. So if you use Sky Safari Pro 6 update

George. Thanks!! You are the hero in my book. Also ask about the issue listed in post #7956 above in this topic.

The latest Sky Safari Pro release has a new issue with the time. You can set the time correctly but it will be an hour behind....(check at the upper right to see what time is shown). I have verified t

I have a RAPAS on my 1100. I run lots of wires (around 6) through the mount and no issue. There is a plastic segmented "separator" that comes with the mount that allows you to run the cables through a

I am using USB active extenders. I have run 62' with no issues and running to a USB splitter at the mount to run a imaging camera and guider camera. These use a small power supply plugged in similar t

Yes...that is same for my Android version of Sky Safari 6 Pro. Before we didn't have the options for parking other than one as I recall. Now when disconnecting it has the list of options. That is grea

Background....since I got my 1100 mount (early model) with CP4 I tried to get it to work reliably with Sky Safari 6 Pro wireless via the AP built in wireless module. This is with Android cell phone an

If you bury the tube in the concrete you are locked in to the orientation and any shift over time. This can be a big issue if you have climate that is in the snow belt like me. It is far better to pou

I don't have a CP5 but have a CP4 with latest updates, I am one of the early adopters of the CP4. It is used with my 1100. The issue of WIFI drop outs has been an ongoing issue from the start. I spent

Stellarvue probably has one to match their scopes and should be fine. For custom, Markus Ludes of Aries can supply a very high quality one to match the scope. All depends on how much you are willing t

It seems to me the first question asked should be....are you looking for a permanent setup or one that can be moved to different locations? Next....what telescope are you mounting on it? For a permane

Huetech used to sell a nice helical focuser that didn't rotate the camera. You can lock down all of the adjustments with thumb screws so once locked down there is NO flexure or unwanted movement. I ha

I would not try doing this with every thing connected. Sounds like a recipe for disaster for a remote setup (although Roland might put me at ease). Reminds me of the story about a new computer design.

Try the SATELLITE TRACKER PROGRAM....I think it is still free and available having been "resurrected" recently. I have used it for years with my old Celestron GPS 11" fork mount telescope. I have also
