Super Video! Habe mir den Lx4 soeben bestellt 😊Was ich aber noch nicht verstehe sobald ich durch das Telescop schaue und auf den Nordstern ausrichte, darf nur noch der Kugelkopf der Kamera nach dem Motiv am Himmel ausgerichtet werden? Sobald der Timer startet, muss ich ja evtl noch die Kamera bedienen. Geht da das Tracking richtig weiter, zwecks Berührung? Wusste nicht wie ich die Frage anders stellen soll 😅 Grüsse

@@moreno111 Hey, also erstens: danke freut mich! Zweitens zu deinen Fragen: Ja richtig, sobald du eingenordet hast (über den Polsucher), solltest du das Gesamtsystem nicht mehr zu viel bewegen. Die Kamera kannst du theoretisch danach am Kugelkopf ausrichten, aber aus Erfahrung schiebt man leider meistens das Gesamtsystem doch noch etwas hin und her. Am besten grob einnorden, dann dein Ziel/Kamera einstellen und dann nochmal fein korrigieren (sofern die Kamera nicht im Weg zum Sucher ist). Die Einstellungen in der Kamera kannst du davor schon einstellen (Fokus, Belichtung, Iso etc.) und nutzt am besten nen Remote Shutter oder Intervalometer (Fernauslösung mit Kabel). Dann startest du den Timer der Nachführung und danach den Remote-Shutter / Intervalometer / Serienaufnahme. An der Kamera solltest du dann nichts mehr drücken, da sonst das Bild verwackelt. Aber das kommt mit der Übung :) Hoffe das hilft weiter!

Hi Chris! Nice video, thanks for making it 🙂! When you use the 'loop' feature on the preview tab the app does not regulate the exposure time which is why the median value will not match the target setting. Only when you click the 'Run' button will the exposure tim be controlled. All the best! Michael

I find I can use Flats for several sessions, if I keep my equipment clean and don't rotator or otherwise alter the imaging train. Always blow off the objective lens with a puffer bulb before and after each session. I generally use Darks for 6 to 10 months and almost always shoot 300s, unity gain, and -20C (-15C, if the nights are too warm in summer).

I have a Bridna at 296 Wh and an Orion Lithium at 156 Wh. The past few days I have tried each on an AM5/AsiAir Mini/ASI83MC Pro/ASI120MM mini system. The Orion only made it 2 hours, while the Bridna goes about 6 hours with the same rig. Oddly, I had to run with the AC outlets and using a power strip. The 12V outlets just didn't seem to be compatible whether I used the cigarette type plug or the pin plug outlets. In one case I could not get the mount to work, but everything else (powered off the mount) worked fine. In another case, the ASIAir would not power up while the camera cooling off the ASIAir was working. Very strange those electrons.

I love my cem70g. It was more expensive than my scope and camera combined but it was worth it. Mine was one of the early units which had a few teething problems. All sorted now. Like you I when conditions are good I get sub 0.3 guiding. For my cons, the iguider is poor and too short in focal length for this mount so I don't use it. Ipolar is useful for a portable solution although I have a permanent setup so don't use it often and prefer other tools for precise polar alignment.

Do you know if is much quality difference between the UNC and ONTC Series? the UNC ones i noticed there are not so flexible with differetn adaptations, but the price is much more accesible

Hi Chrizzly, thanks for the nice video and great upgrade! Inspired by your video, I recently finally got my own TS ONTC6f4. It looks like decent quality. However, I was disappointed to see that TS Optics actually used the HSZ6 primary mirror holder instead of the triangular 9-point HSZONTC6 holder which is explicitly shown to come with the telescope on the ONTC6f4 sales page. I contacted TS Optics and they admitted that the different holder was used (without telling me) but justified it being 'functionally the same'. This is not acceptable since I ordered the ONTC version instead of the Photon or UNC series precisely for the upgrades. Just wanted to ask if yours came with the HSZ6 or HSZONTC6 holder? Thank you for your time.

Hey there! Oh man, that doesnt sound too good... :/ Just had a quick check (without complete disassembly) and as far as I understand I have the HSZONTC6 equipped in my scope. The outer most backplate has definetely this triangular shape. So thats a bummer hearing from your situation :/ Here you can see the cell used in my scope, I just took a picture: ibb.co/JBxLK4H Hope you can clear this issue out with TS! Best wishes and CS! Chris

@@ChrizzlyUniverse thanks so much for your time! Yes it does look like yours is the right one. I've reached out to TS again,; just surprised to hear that they had knowingly swapped it and then justified that it was ok.

@@ChrizzlyUniverse After some back and forth, TS finally agreed to replace my primary mirror holder with the correct one, though this means a few weeks of down time. As a side note, I noticed you have a small fan at the bottom of the mirror holder. May I ask if you added that yourself or if it came with it? Do the wires connect to a 12V DC receptacle at the back (which I assume is where the hole with the big hex nut is?). Thank you again!

@@loneoceans Glad to hear that it worked for you in the end. No, the fan was also part of the delivery and is not custom installed by myself. But this fan also puzzled me a bit...It is a 12 V fan, but the connector is not your standard DC 5.5 x 2.1 mm plug, but instead an AUX 3.5 mm (audio) plug....very weird to me, had to get an additional adapter for that only recently after I experienced some dew/frost forming on the primary during extreme cold nights. But with the adapter the fan worked with 12 V. And yes, its the big hex nut hole. CS!
