You've probably heard the "Captain's wheel" on the ED versions caused some people tilting/movement issues.
I've only got a QHY9 and QHY FW in my image train currently.
Would be happy to test your 16803 on it for say 6 months though to save you headaches later?   |
Ok cheers for that Rob
but no, I haven't heard too much about "problems" with the various FSQ's, hence my question but focuser tilt/bending is what I want to avoid, just doing my homework
My Robo focus is currently
attached to my Starfire (Also standing idle in a cupboard
) and it had no issue at all lifting the described imaging train and the massive 4" focus tube and 4" FF (less the MMOAG-Lodestar) and focusing tightly was a breeze, even when pointing at the zenith, so I am confident it will handle the load
...would you like my Starfire as well...?
Mike
