Parag, here is a photo of the first bar sent from ES. It is too short. The replacement bar they sent is about 1 to 11/2” inches longer, and works fine.

Devesh, those guide numbers aren’t that bad. As Robert says, sky and weather conditions, seeing, etc can vary the guiding numbers quite a bit. Even all things being equal night to night. You don’t men

Bill, yes I noticed what Emory said. I tried the same settings for a while, and then went back to the default. Can’t remember why. Mine works great with mostly the default settings. However, I have no

Bill, I suggest you look at this other ES link https://espmc-eight.groups.io/g/SYSHELP Search ASIAIR Guiding. I have tried to help member Runar in a similar issue. I posted it today.

Carter, I don’t think you need that long an exposure. With my iExos 100 and ASI 533, I have had great photos with 3-5 minute exposures. I think15 minute exposures would unnecessarily tax the guiding c

Devesh, I just recently got a C6 SCT. I have only tried it once so far using the .63 FR and my 533 camera. I was expecting PA and guiding challenges (like you mentioned). However the PA and guiding we

Devesh, I also use an ASIair. I have found that if I accept a PA just under 2” (the Smiley Face pops up), my guiding is between 2-2.5. If I continue to refine my PA after the initial Smiley, and get i

Devesh, beautiful. Great color and detail.

Hi Josh, look into the ASIair Plus or Pro. Simple and elegant. No laptop, Ascom, or drivers. Does it all. Be aware that your DSLR must be compatible, or dedicated astronomy camera or guide camera must

Carter, got 2 barbell weights from Walmart. A 11/4 and 2/12 lbs. Cut pvc pipe to reduce the hole size and wedged pvc in the hole using a little friction tape if necessary. May have to sand pvc a littl

Billy, the Universal Firmware Configuration Tool, is used to change settings within the mount. It can be downloaded and installed via ES website. If you have updated your mounts firmware recently, you

Devesh, Although I have the iExos 100 mount, my setup is very similar. I could not balance my ES ED 80CF scope with its short Vixen bar. So I added a longer Vixen bar (7 1/4”) and bolted it below the

Euan, Like Steve’s son, I have the ES Twilight Heavy Duty tripod. It is Very stable. Works great with my iExos 100. ES also makes the Twilight Medium Duty tripod. Both of these come in black or white.
