Again, there is tutorial on how to deal with that, but I did not do it on my unit. There is a bit to much friction in both axis - although mount is using bearings. There is tutorial on how to do it on youtube. It can be done but one needs a bit of technical skills to do it - it requires disassembling the unit. There was some backlash in my sample that I needed to tune out. Can be solved by adding hand controller (but it costs quite a bit to do so). You need to look at phone to make adjustment which is bad for DSO observing as it ruins night vision. In visual mode - there is no tactile feedback when using phone to and looking at the eyepiece - you have no idea what you should be pressing to move scope in particular direction. There are couple of things with this mount that I've found somewhat annoying. In every case, I think I was below 3Kg and it worked fine. I've so far only mounted lighter things on my AzGTI - both in az mode - Skywatcher Mak102 and in EQ mode - Canon + lens, or Samyang 85mm + cooled astro camera and adapter. You can get it from official SW website here: Yes, goto works perfectly well when in EQ mode - as long as you apply proper firmware first.

That's a really helpful summary for someone like me, who is thinking about buying a portable mount at some point in the future. Here is what that setup might look like (I've found this online to show what I mean, I'm actually going to use larger side by side saddle plate that I already own for my setup) I'll be using Raspberry PI4 with IndigoSky server and my phone for portable setup. There are stand alone guiders as well, but I think that one would need hand controller for AzGti in order to connect guider to ST4 port. You can use CW in AZ mode as well - it provides more balance and stability.įor guiding to work, you'll need guide scope, some sort of side by side arrangement, guide camera, and computer. I think that EQ1/EQ2 counterweight bar fits without modifications, but I'm not sure. In any case - there is firmware for AzGTI that tells it that it is now in EQ mode (you can switch between two modes each time you connect to the mount) - but in order for it to work properly - you need to get a wedge.įor good tracking in EQ mode, you also need to have CW - luckily it is rather easy to do - it already has connection and you can DIY one or purchase Star Adventurer that can be screwed in with simple adaper (M8 to M12 I think). In fact - alt azimuth mount is equatorial mount if one is at the north pole and celestial equator is straight up

With Alt Az mount - it is pointing straight up, but with eq mount it needs to point to celestial pole. Alt azimuth and equatorial mount are rather similar - in fact they are the same in construction with only one difference - where main axis is pointing. When you want to compensate for earth's rotation and do proper imaging - you use equatorial mount. (These are actually star trails recorded from a fixed mounting - but effect is the same - due to not compensating for earth's rotation). Such mount can track object for longer periods of time but is not suitable for astrophotography because this sort of tracing creates field rotation - image slowly rotates on sensor and you get this sort of effect: With regards to “guiding” in very simple terms can you explain the kit required ? I get the principal but not sure on the why when the mounts profess to track the target object anyway ?Īh, ok, here it is in short (although topic by itself is rather large).ĪzGti is as it name suggests a Alt Azimuth mount.

I then got an iphone passthrough cradle from the same crowd. I have one in my MKV and another in our 308 and they work well and are in a good location that does not impede anything. There are 'hole less' brackets out there that you remove the trim around the radio and screws that hold the climatic controls secure the bracket to the centre console, it is designed to come out beside the climate adjuster and through the gap between the fascia and console.
