Commissioning commenced over the weekend. Scope and camera are installed with FitPC riding on the scopes back. Moonlite focuser is driven by the Robofocus controller I had.
I had to run cables reverse through the mount to communicate with the weather station and the roof controller. For those interested I ran a Ethernet cable through the mount down onto a Ethernet over power module and that communicates directly with the router.
The Mount Hub Pro powers the computer, camera, dew heaters and focuser. In other words everything on the scope.
So far all appears to work. Now for V curves and some collimation testing. Pictures tell the story.
Cable management needs a little fine tuning but this is ok for now. Nice to have a large scope that does not have a balance issue.
