Hey :)
so I got myself a nano.Tracker the other month and played around with this cool little toy.
It can carry 2kg and my setup, Sony Nex5-N, mirror lens 500mm 6.3 and ball head are ~1.6kg.
I managed 15 secs exposure with really good alignment and 13 secs with so-so alignment.
What I really missed during those first nights under the stars since 2013 was a finder scope or similar tool.
I can't for the life of me think of a construction to attach a FS to my setup.
Or to attach and align my smartphone (incl Skysafari Plus) as surrogate FS.
Here are some pics of the setup.
Can one of you guys think of something I could use/make/alter?
Any idea would be most welcome!
I'm no good in DIY (and quite poor) but possibly from your idea I could at least think up something that would be feasible even for me.
Thanks a million :) :) :)
