Very, very nice. Lots of work and it shows! 👍👍

Brian Hehe sorry I didn’t mean to offend you. Yes the polar scope must be collimated to the ra axis of the mount. It is necessary for its line of sight to be a true indicator of the ra axis pointing..

Agree chaps, I particularly like the idea of the Polar scope adapted adaptor. Hopefully Jerry and his colleagues will develop this for when I am ready to make the leap to guiding! Kind regards, Brian

I'm a Newbie, so please be gentle with me! Third time out with the EXOS2-GT PMC8 and the Explore Scientific 208 f/3.9. Had a frustrating night, took me two hours to get the guidecam to see enough star

Hello everyone, I’ve been following this group for a while now, trying to learn the ins and outs of astrophotography with my EXOS2 gt Mount. I took this photo last weekend with my William optics Space

Hi Koen! If it must not be a powerbank from Explore Scientific , have a look at Amazon. There I find many powerbanks, that have also 12V output. Look at this one: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07QGC1MBC/r

Hi Trav, The planets and minor planets move slowly and are effectively tracked at the Sidereal rate, the same as the stars. Only the Sun and Moon show any appreciable movement over the typical session

Jerry, That did it! I had the mount track 9 min past the meridian and the flip went perfectly. Thanks again for your help.

I think it is time to lock this thread. There are plenty of other forums that are more relevant to DSLR intervalometers and what the best one is for any particular use. Sorry.

Hi Nihar, The PMC-Eight controller on power up sets the motor counts to zero internally in the firmware. This is reasonable because there is no assumption that the mount's physical clutches have not b

Hi Mike, Welcome to the PMC-Eight forum!! I appreciate you starting out with Explore Scientific equipment. Since you are a beginner you are no doubt wanting to learn as much as you can about the hobby

I was up early on the morning of March 1st and decided to open up MSRO StationOne for some quick imaging since the sky was clear. The seeing not so good. I decided to image M51 and here is the result.

Kevin: To further what bob reported: I ran my 940 mm FL with a 2x teleview a few days ago. My guiding with a guide scope etc was about 1 arc sec rms. By stars were fine. Effective FL of 1880, exposure

So, I decided to see what the Mount could do with just my 300mm Nikon lens, no scope and finally got decent results. I did a rough polar alignment and then a 2 star alignment. Then pointed towards And
