Harry: That ball head adapter is too short. I know because I tried it with my EXOS-2. The dovetail clamp on the EXOS-2 will not allow the camera/lens to be moved forward or backward when balancing

Ok thanks Jerry I’d better flash it in then at some point. Cheers Dave Sent from Mail for Windows 10

Is the new update recent? Had my EXOS 2 for just over a month and installed latest at the time. Thanks Kev Get Outlook for Android

Hi Dave, There have been no significant changes recently to the pulse guiding code, but there is a significant change that impacts the performance of the slews that you would definitely want to

I keep meaning to ask you guys... Does this new firmware have any advantages if you are pulse guiding with a guide scope? I haven't upgraded yet as it is working fine for me just as it is. I always

Is this cable included with the new purchase of an EXos2-GT PMC-8?

Hi Koen, What follows as far as purchases assumes you are in the US. If not, I'm sure you can find substitutes. I consider my setup portable. I break it all down and pack it in three tool boxes I

Its funny, I was going to link this as well, but decided not to, as its a little "hodge podge" for using on the ES mount. Its definitely not designed for this. However, I actually went ahead and

Never heard of this. What a nice accessory!

Great thank you.

Yes and it looks easy peasy thanks :) For someone who might be interested in something less expensive to begin with with modest equipment would this work as well? It says Dovetail and no mention of

Hi Jeff, The setup you have is kind of what i am looking for. How "portable" is it? Thing is i cant use my backyard because of blocked views so i have to go on location every time i want to do

Yes, the bottom “grooves” on the bottom of the Skywatcher adapter will fit slide right in the top of your mount. No further hardware required. I have used it with a regular ball head and a pistol

The vast majority of astronomical mounts from all the manufacturers use a dovetail based mounting system. There are two styles of dovetails in general usage, Vixen style, and Losmandy style. You have

Hi Chris, yes I was looking for something a bit cheaper but having a hard time finding one which includes 3/8" screws like the one ES sells to support the ball head I'm planning to mount. Also, I'm
