Hi guys,
I am trying to read all 30 pages now to find answers to my questions but it will take a while. If somebody is following this thread from the beginning would you mind answering a couple of questions.
1) are a bottom plate of this mount head and a thread that goes into the mount head the same as the ones used on an EQ6 Pro? I have a pier made for my Eq6 and I am wondering whether I can still use it with an EQ8 mount?
2) Has anybody been able to hook it with EQMOD either directly(without a HC) or through it? I can see the discussion about it on page 11 with someone mentioning difference in voltage and possible problems but I have not reached the point yet where it's been solved.
I am looking at this mount too and going back to astrophotography after almost 4 years pause. I would love to connect to the EQ8 the same way I was using my EQ6. I have used it with ASCOM-Bluetooth through serial port on the mount.
Since there is no serial port on the EQ8 I would need some adapters. It is not a problem to buy as long as this way of communication with the eq8 mount is possible.
