RedCat Team combine!

So why not print a bracket that allows you to adjust the eaf itself for tension and remove the tension piece all together? That way you remove a piece that can get lost, and you remove an entire backlash piece.

[@nikaxstrophotography]

If only the asiair worked with other cameras/focusers etc. they would sell 5-10 times more of these

[@anata5127]

This is a plot to push you towards ASAir. Be careful!

[@aradani3]

BEUATIFUL!!

[@AngelFREAK131]

I do NOT like the asiair for two reasons. I have worse guiding than PHD2 + NINA. And the flats wizard with auto dark flats in NINA is SO good.

[@TexasEngineerScotty]

One other thing I think will be nice is that there are some occasions I find when I want to adjust focus manually but cannot because my ZWO EAF is attached. With that set up it looks super easy to slip the belt off and do a manual adjustment without having to have the focusing attachment plugged in or having to deal with the lag of manually focusing through the ASIAIR interface.

[@simonpepper5053]

The Redcat was the first scope I got and it’s still my favourite. Thankfully I don’t need travel to image so the black cat mount suits me! Keep the videos coming Cuiv!

[@rmf11699]

Is that EAF focuser the standard or the advanced version?

[@perry3928]

Hi Cuiv and thanks. What a beautiful rig. I will be getting same setup. It's been cloudy here for months. Hesitant to get it in fear of prolonging this horrible weather lol.

[@OddballsHobbyChannel]

I love the way everything is neatly organised, I am very tempted

[@rashie]

👍👍- Gracias Cuiv!

[@heathbrook9478]

I traveled around Aus with a similar setup, using the gti sky watcher. I use to travel with a esprit’s 120 hahaha. I can vouch that this setup was great and I got some wonderful images especially while I worked in Uluru and northern South Australia. Also the fact that you can just pick up this setup as a whole and bring it inside when your finished is an added bonus.

[@lukomatico]

Awesome bit of kit and a wonderful video as always! Looks better than the one we have on our redcat51 for sure (with the permanent ring as you mentioned)

[@beatsntoons]

This looks great, thanks Cuiv. Always kept one eye on the Redcats. Ended up with an Askar FRA400 but that’s been giving me trouble so might look into one of these

[@TheJoshuaCarter]

Oh man, that's a nice portable rig. Gotta love these little scopes!

[@davehenzel2171]

I'm brand new to this and I'm putting together an order for my first setup. I decided to go with the RedCat 51 II with the ZWO EAF, and was curious how it was going to work together. This video is exactly what I needed to see and gives me a lot more confidence in this setup. Appreciate the video and your commitment to educating newbs!

[@tomhoskins4913]

Outstanding work. Cuiv. keep up the great work. It is great to see you come around to the ZWO side of the force.
