Well I have finally got around to completing my DSC installation, I had to work out a way to get the Az motion to the encoder as there wasn’t enough space for it to be fitted strait to the centre bolt so I had a look through my junk box and found some gears from an old printer and video recorded. Here is the finished setup.

Darren,

Very good job! Neat too.

Don't ya love junk and stuff in sheds. I hope it is dead accurate this time, not like the trouble you had with the belt.

Give us a report on observing accuracy please.

and also, how did you work out the correct gear ratios to keep in sync with the encoder?

Yes I would be lost without the junk in my shed it has got me out of trouble more times than I can remeber, it works 200% better. :thumbsup:

As for acuracy it will bring M104 into the FOV of my 9mm GSO EP. :thumbsup:


Trial and error (Couldn't be bothered doing the maths) :P
