Thanks

Thank you very much !!! Perfect ! I use the @nabby13 solution about the m42-m48 ring !

hello, I'm confuse the Celestron t adapter 78,35 mm or 78 mm when I Measure it 78 mm do you know about this ?

Hello Cody, another excellent video!!! Finally, for your experience and better performance. What brand of dual filters would you recommend and how many nanometers? For example: The Ascar color Magic, Altair Dual band 6nm or 4nm? I live in the City of Barcelona which could be a Bortle 8/9.. my equipment: APM 130/780 F/6 - ASI2600MC DUO - AM5 Thanks for your good advice in all your excellent videos.

Absolutely brilliant two videos it has helped me so much to buy a Evolution 6” can’t afford anything else once I get all the bits to go with it lol again thank you and cheers.🍻👍🇬🇧🇺🇸

Hi Cody, I just purchased a Evolution 8 that came with a free Starsense AutoAlign. Can I ask you what is your tablet of choice when performing an alignment with the SkyPortal app?. Thanks so much for your great tutorials!

Which tripod are you using with the AM5N review? Thx

Great review!! Thank you. Do you know if the Ethernet port can be used to transfer raw images? Would be nice to pull them straight to my NAS instead of futzing with USB sticks and having to move the files twice.

Hi,can asiair mini control avx mount to move through wifi?

Thanks Cody! I’m sitting here watching Monday Night Football with AM5n, AVX mount, and pier extension. I followed your instructions and it went together perfectly, thanks again!

I’m looking on getting this mount to upgrade from my skywatcher star adventure gti mount and wondering if it’s even worth it.

Absolutely agree: too much criticism of a small innovative industry of incredibly dedicated professionals.

Hi Cody! Great review! Price is definitely too steep. But I was wondering if you want to do nothing and see the pictures next day morning, why can't you just sleep in and download pictures on the Internet next day morning? I don't know what purpose do these automated telescopes serve!! Maybe the comment is a bit harsh but I was wondering why buy this at that price? You can buy rasa8 and a good mount for that price.

Is there a way for asiair to control a Celestron telescope through wifi.

12:24 what galaxy is that ?

Nice bit of kit, Love the RASA scopes. I'd expect some sort of EQ mode for that price.

when you have add a star or a planet. do the scope follow it when you watch it?

Does this have to be connected to WiFi use.?

Great Review. I am looking at this as an option in the future.

Thank you. Nearly 2 years ago, I was struggling to get my Celestron mount to cooperate with my ASIAIR. This video was the one saving grace that kept me from giving up all together. I searched for this video again today just to come back and thank you for proving a means for me to stick with it 2 years ago. I’ve had great success since and give you the credit. Cheers!

I wonder what would happen if the air computer bricks? Can the camera be controlled without it?

Is that Meade telescope the 10" f4 one? Would love to see the guiding performance on that particular scope without and with the counterweight. That would be interesting.

When you mentioned your friends and contacts at Celestron…I felt all objectivity go out the window. Feels a bit like an Ad, unfortunately. You get a 6” rasa…but cannot reduce or Barlow? At least you can use a filter, but with some 3D printing, you can do the same with a star or a dwarf. Trying to mentally justify that price, but you might as well build your own rig for just slightly more for all the flexibility it would offer….OR get a seestar/dwarf for outreach, etc. I wanna like it, but man that price

Origin costs too much at $4000 + tax and is a heavy behemoth. Dwarf 2/3 and Seestar S50 are compact, can get as good images at a 500 dollar price point.

Will the star sense work without wifi ? Mine cannot find my wifi network. I may have to send it back.

What did this accomplish? How do you know what improvements were made? Thanks.

love your channel , sold me on the avx i paired it with the ssag with excellent results, i am wondering about post processing here and calibration frames ? darks, flats etc can they be done ?

Can you attach any other camera in that slot

One of the weak points is the field of view rotation. maybe.

As soon as I find a splitter wire I think I will be able to set it up. Thanks for the video. You explained it very well.

Cody, will this work on an older CGEM mount? The title mentions it but you on referenced to the CGEM II

Thank you so much for the video!

It could happen to you. I was troubleshooting an issue with my Celestron Focus Motor (CFM) a couple of days ago. I reinstalled the driver/software. This necessitates recalibrating the device. While it was traveling to the zero point, it was making a knocking sound. Yikes! (There only $200+ these days) So I watched this video a couple of times to re-familiarize with the install process. Been years. (Thanks AstroBlender! Great video as always) So I got to the point where I was going to loosen the allen screws and found that they had moved behind the focus motor housing. ( 10:08 ) I could just barely see the set screw but did not have enough clearance to loosen it. The other screw was completely covered of course. Hmm, I tried just standing there staring at it but this didn’t seem to help. The cure. I took some needle nose pliers and cover the inside of the jaws with duct tape (thank you Vesta Stoudt) to protect the surface of the CFM. I was able to grip the housing (were the allen screws are located) and then by hand turn the shaft above it revealing both screws. No surface damage resulted in this step. Next I took the CFM off and inspected it. There was no visible damage or misalignments. So I replaced/reseated the CFM. Realigned the arrows ( 8:55 ) and tightened down the allen screws. Performed a calibration and there was no more knocking. All smiles here. Side note: I was not able to find the alignment wrench ( 8:00 ) but I was able to turn the shaft to the arrow alignment using a small crescent wrench.

Thanks for the video. Nice Telescope.

Pretty sure they will just do the polar alignment with the standard evolution wedge. Costs around 400 dollars/euros. Not sure why this was not released software wise yet, seems like a simple mod.

I have a Unistellar Equinox 2 , and see that the Origin is the next progression in this type of telescope , and can't wait to get one in the future

Awesome review Cody! Clear skies.

Its the most easiest way of making a bolt its easier then mauser bolt I still cant figure it out how the firing pin is threaded into the bolt and it can stay still when bolt rotates

Great video thank you! One question.. Can you use the ZWO filter drawer shown with redcat and DSLR? or will the m42 size cause vignetting on a DSLR?

Thanks for the video and all the information. I would like to see processed images, the one you shown looks a bit poor quality and blury.

NIce telescope, I have had a Nexstar 8 for 24 years and the electronics quit a year or so ago. I may get another Celestron 6 inch refractor. I like viewing planets. I will check the price of that scope. And consider it. Like the mount. Thanks so much for the video.Just checked and $4000 is more than I want to spend. But it is very nice telescope.

SUPERB ! I wish all natural resources could be presented with this much teaching skill.

At 3:29 you switch the mount on and let it go the "first screen" on the HC - but it is impossible to read what that first screen (after "verifying packages" actually says. Mine says "AVXpress enter to begin alignment". Is that what your HC screen says? One leaves it at that first screen?

I think your reviews are good but very biased towards all celestron things which is a shame , the price of this smart telescope is way over priced. i say that as someone who has invested much into celestron . Pound for pound look at the Dwarf smart telescope or similar .

It would be better at half the price... but I suppose it can be used 24hrs a day a cracking door stop

A pity the central camera assembly is so obstructive. The sensor area is a small fraction of the overall central assembly

Can this mount be used as an alt-az mount with other telescopes? This would be an added value to a very interesting imaging system.

I was hoping for a telescope that could do deep space objects as well as planetary photography and this one isn't good for planetary. So, I'll have to pass especially considering the cost. Thanks for the review!
