Hi, Thanks for your reply! The site location was indeed set to ES headquarters. I've changed it to my location and I'll test it when the skies are clear. Martin.

A thread on focusers should be started in the PMC-Eight Application subgroup, not in any of the PMC-Eight subgroups or MAIN.

Thanks Wes. That’s what I was thinking given it’s a reflection nebula. I tried to process to pick up the dust lanes but to no avail.

Good day Dave, Thank you for the compliment. I have seen your work for a while. I plan on getting more into DSOs when my planet season is over. The weather has been hindering me from practice J. I am

Hi Jerry, I seem to recall hearing that in one of the YouTube live vids recently... Would the motor still run, but just not have enough oomph to turn the larger gears? Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Dev

RC6's all weigh like 10-12 lbs. Im looking into off axis guiding and I already have a DSLR with an APS-C sized chip running 4.7 micrometer pixels for imaging. Apparently, this chip size is recommended

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

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
