Hi Peter,
Thanks for the feedback. I have a few questions regarding your focuser setup. Not had a problem with payload limit so far so would be nice to know the limiting factor.
- Roughly what is your payload weight ?
- It there significant focuser resistance even without the payload ?
- Is the motor coupled via the 10:1 fine focus ?
I do have another possible solution. I have another motor, same type as the supplied motor but it's big brother. The alternative motor on paper has about three times the pull in torque. I don't supply the bigger motor as standard just because it's usually over kill and is more expensive but still beer money (~£10) compared to the MoonLite.
I can send you the bigger motor to try out before going for the MoonLite ?
Cool, be interested to hear what you think regarding the software updates. I have had the updated client running all night with temperature compensation running and it's all very happy.
Clear skies,
Dave
