First night using the ASIAIR system! It was a bit convoluted at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's a simple little system. I'm used to NINA which has way more functionality, but I can really see why people enjoy this. It's fun and that's what this is about :)

I knew this setup would have tilt as the Epsilon focuser isn't the strongest out there. At F3, tilt is pretty unforgiving (although not as bad as RASA!) This isn't a huge amount of tilt and it's better than I expected :)

ZWO EAF Pro added to the F/3 Takahashi Epsilon. Unlike everything else Takahashi, this was relatively straight forward. The focuser is super simple compared to most nowadays. The standard ZWO bolts all fit, but the shaft diameter is pretty large compared to most focusers.

I will be adding the ZWO EAF Pro tomorrow for auto focus. Imaging at F3 requires really careful focus to get the most out the system.

First light with the legendary Takahashi Epsilon, 2600MM Air and the Pegasus NYX 88! A fully brand new setup that I'll be using for an open ended amount of time. I cannot wait to get this running to its best performance. #astrophotography

For 3 months I've been using a surprisingly cheap full monochrome imaging setup from ToupTek Astro. This offers *serious* value for money... but is it good? 📍 4:30PM, GMT, YouTube youtube.com/watch?v=yDofJ5Ca… #astrophotography #space #telescope #astrophoto

I have just finished one of my favourite videos I've ever made! It feels more polished than all my previous videos. I've really worked hard at improving areas from feedback from my viewers. Hopefully this is noticed and people love what's coming this weekend 🙏 #astronomy

It's also worth noting this new mount head will be noticeably heavier at 2KG more than the outgoing HEQ5 Pro. This is a change from 10KG to 12KG.
