Beautiful, thanks Wes (and Kent)! I'm glad I checked here.

Greg The part you note will not work. According to Kent at Explore Scientific: “The SKU that works is EXOS2PFI. We do not have a page for it at this moment. But we will tomorrow. Retail is $39.99.” We

Hi everyone, I'm just double checking before I buy this, does anyone know if the ES Finder Scope Illuminator (SKU FNDRILLUM) fits the threads for the polar alignment scope in the EXOS2? It looks like

The Omegon Stainless Steel Trípode is perfect for the AZ adjuster and have around 25-30kg weight capacity.

Yes. But you do need to add weight as I noted to the tray of the Tripod do give it more mass. Micheal

Thank you, your verdict is thus that the standard tripod with retracted legs is sturdy enough to carry the 11lbs limit

Ignazio I have my 80mm telescope, flatter and T7 camera on my iEXOS-100 + 50mm guide scope and zwo 120mmi guide camera and a auto focus-er and controller around 11LBs. I the then add 11lbs wt at top o

Hi I resurrect this thread to ask the following: in the iexos-100 with its standard tripod is the limit weight determined mostly by the sturdiness of the tripod? If I change the standard tripod for a

@Wes: compared to the schematic in the manual the hole was "mirrored" wrt the axis North-South, this left me perplexed at first, once installed the adapter it did work as expected, I believe. If I tur

#iEXOS-100 #alignment #polaralignment

Well if that hole is aligned with the template in the instructions that is great. Your install looks exactly correct. When you build and package devices you do in a batch. When the adapter was package

#iEXOS-100 #alignment #polaralignment

Interesting indeed. Actually there are only two hole + one scratch (at 11 o'clock as you noticed) on the top of my tripod, one hole is ~5 mm for the adapter's pin, the second hole is ~2mm for the plas

Hi Ignazio, not sure this helps, but my (recently bought new) mount has two of the same holes, minus the dimple/hole at 11 o'clock in your picture.

Hi I have bought the azimuth adapter for my iexos-100, I have read the installation procedure and it mentions to drill a hole for the pin of the adapter in the base of the tripod. I had a big surprise

#iEXOS-100 #alignment #polaralignment

The adjuster has a pin in it that secures the housing to the tripod, the 2 adjustment knows will move the mount side to side for.polar allingment.

Thanks a lot, very clear explanation!

The 3D printed one mounts to that threaded hole you are referencing. The entire 3D printed bracket sits around the altitude adjustment knob. Two screws press inward on the mount just below the altitud

Thank you for the link and the explanation, I already read that before to ask, my doubt is that I cannot figure out where the 3d printed one grabs on the mount. Also, I don't know the function of the

That may help. I first installed my adjuster on the iExos 100 standard tripod. Then, when I purchased the heavy weight tripod, I installed it on that one. Hardware is included for both tripods (and th

Ignazio The adapter relies on a peg that you install on the tripod. The adjustment screws push against the peg. Installation required thst you drill a hole for a bolt into the top of the tripod throug
