Thank you. It took a lot to get to this point but it was all 100% worth it

I took this a while ago with an old 80x560mm stellarvue scope and a canon rp. I’ve been working on building a custom camera upgrade and it’s been going pretty excruciatingly slow haha

Nice, I finally upgraded last year to a ZWO AM5 and 2600MC and it’s definitely worth it, but the AM 5 is a little (a lot) wobbly with the guiding, so as always, got more things to upgrade again 😅

Oh yeah it’s always something 😭 I have to crack open my mount sometime soon to fix the backlash otherwise my tracking will always drift. What made you go with a color cam instead of mono with filters?

Cheaper, less moving parts, I live in the boonies (bottle 4/5), and I’m in New England, so I get maybe 20 good nights to shoot a year, can’t really waste my time shooting a whole night of HA. I definitely hear you on the backlash though, I had a AVX and that thing spent more time disassembled on my desk than it did working.
