Thank you for this video. I just got an Edge 8 HD plus a AVX mount and a bunch of goodies for a truly amazing deal. So I have an almost identical setup, same telescope and camera, guide scope and guide camera, but I'm using an EQR6-PRO. I also just ordered the .7 focal reducer. I'm just now realizing that I will need a filter drawer for my dual band 2 inch filter. (This is an expensive hobby!) Are you still using the Svbony guide scope with your Edge 8 HD? I've heard people get better results with OAG, so I was considering that, but wanted to hear from others too. All of your videos have been great. Thanks again! Aaron in Minnesota.
@AstroCrescent 16 күн бұрын
Congratulations on purchase of the new Astro gear. This is probably the best for planets and small galaxies. I didn’t use the SV Bony guidescope much because of its weight. My AVX mount is limited to only 30 lbs. I was thinking of getting either EQ6R-Pro or ZWO AM5. But things changed drastically and I’m not able to wake up at nights for Astro imaging for the time being. Good luck with your new setup. I’m sure you will enjoy it a lot. And yes, it’s an expensive hobby without any doubt. Cheers!!

What is the great”er’ advantage in EQ mode? AZ can also take photos… is it the max exposers time before jitter or that you can’t start track/plate resolve in AZ? It’s a GpTo mount should it not drive well enough
@AstroCrescent 29 күн бұрын
Thanks for watching! That is an interesting question. Of course, AZ mounts can also take pictures. The EQ mode definitely has its own advantages; that’s why most astrophotographers use EQ mode. Can’t specifically mention the advantages here. I would suggest that you watch some videos on this topic. Cheers!!

Hi Astro Cresent please help :) if I use azgti in eq mode, at the beginning do I need to align it to 2 or 3 stars in SynScan? and then turn on AsiAir on the eqmode cable and align it to the polar star? Will the goto hit the target in AsiAir then?
@AstroCrescent Ай бұрын
Hi Paul, if you do one star or two star alignment, it does help. But ASIAIR, doesn’t necessarily need it. Just make sure that the mount is roughly pointing towards Polaris when you start the process. Hope this helps. Once the polar alignment is done, you can send the mount to any target. Hope this helps. Cheers!!
