I've been writing some software that does something similar to the Polemaster using my ASI120 and a cheap 25mm c mount lens. I haven't had much time for it lately but it should work when I get around to finishing it... or I might get lazy and get a Polemaster
Great to hear that they work well though.

Uses three cans so you don't have to lug counter weight around, plus you can have a beer once done for the night!
They quoted me £40 shipped to Aus ie ~$70
I need a little more weight to balance when imaging through a heavy Ep, so this is a great option. |
That's a great idea! Though it could cause balance problems as the night goes on, and the beer gets drunk...
That would be super simple to knock up a model and 3D print, I might do it when I have some time, now that my printer is back in action.
