Re: Ioptron ZEQ25GT mount?

Anat, is iAstrohub going to work with this thing? Please do report on your findings. I am finding that hauling the Mach1 is still quite a chore, so a smaller lighter but hopefully capable mount is something I really want. Tak P2Z is impossible to find and has no GoTo. EM11 too expensive. orly_andic...

Re: Ioptron ZEQ25GT mount?

I think it doesn't intend for the cable management. But the RA and DEC axes are hollow (without polarscope). So, I tried and found that it worked :)

Re: Ioptron ZEQ25GT mount?

beginner, It is called an "in-depth" review you won't find elsewhere :) In short, it is an excellent mount :) Light and capable for astrophotography. There may be some problems (like what orly_andico mentioned) but it can be solved easily. The technical support is one of the best that I ha...

Re: Ioptron ZEQ25GT mount?

I just got my ZEQ25 and wrote an "in-depth" review in my local forum: http://darasart.com/webboard/Question.asp?GID=4268 The mechanical problem can be solved easily. It is still worth it because the ZEQ25 mount is the lightest and least expensive mount capable to do serious astrophotography.

Wifi for DSLR

Hello all, I just finished another project to wifi-enable DSLRs. Now we can wirelessly control the shutter, exposure and camera setting. In addition, files can be downloaded via Wifi. There are a lot of possibilities for applications. Three components are required: 1) ARM9 board (US$89) http://cgi.e...
