Bonjour Frédéric. Il s'agit de la monture OpenAstrotech. Pour pouvoir l'utiliser au niveau de l'équateur, il faudrait que le fer à cheval soit vertical. Pour ce faire, la position du support de l'axe arrière, ainsi que celle des roulement doivent être modifiées pour en faire une monture alt-azimutale.

As the stars are very very very faraway, it just needs to be paralell to the RA axis.

Bonjour, Concernant le prix du kit, voir sur les sites qui le proposent à la vente. Exemple : www.astroshop.de/fr/m,openastrotechµ La monture est trop petite pour accepter un tel télescope. Ok pour un téléobjectif 135mm ou 200mm, voire une lunette de courte focale (360mm).

Hello, Only parallel axes are required. No need to have strictly co-linear axes.

@@philippeleca8239 thanks for your reply!

Dear Dyla, I thank you for your comment. The link to the page of my web site wher you can find several adapters for Star-Adventurer is following : www.astrokraken.fr/accessories-for-skywatcher-star-adventurer-mount-a184487612 Best regards, Philippe

Merci fifi

Hello, You can run the tracker with you computer (use a USB cable). I run my trackers with Stellarmate installed on a RPi4.

The Polemaster shall be attached firmly to the mount, with its axis parallel to the one of the mount's RA. The rotation of the RA of the mount (with the Polemaster attached to it) is a part of the stationing procedure.

Hello Trevor, The link is in the description of the movie, and is following : www.astrokraken.fr/accessories-for-skywatcher-star-adventurer-mount-a184487612

@@philippeleca8239 Does this adapter ensure the Polemasters PA axis is perfectly in line with the Star Adventureres PA axis?

​@@woldsweather Dear Trevor, The perfection doesn't exist. This adapter ensure the axis of the Polemaster to be parallel enough to the Star-Adventurer RA axis for an acurate stationing.

Hello, Thank you for your comment. Indeed, it was not the best choice of music. This movie is quite old, and my preferred setup has changed. I will soon replace this movie by another one, with a cooler music ;-)

@@philippeleca8239I just ordered this unit off Amazon, should be getting it in a few weeks. I got the Pro kit, so it comes with all the parts except that right angle viewer. Where did you get the right angle viewer?

Bonjour Jean-Baptiste, Il faut que son axe soit parallèle à l'axe d'ascension droite, pas nécessairement coaxial.

Merci fifi filou, Depuis cette vidéo, j'ai ajouté un boitier RPi4 avec Stellarmate intallé dessus. Connecté à la carte du tracker, cela donne un joli joujou pilotable en wifi depuis un ordinateur portable ou une tablette, bien au chaud depuis le salon, alors que l'engin est dehors. Autoguidage et prises de vues compris.

Hello Eric, I can share a STL file, for your eyes only... Feel free to send an e-mail to me (contact@astrokraken.fr), I will reply with the file attached to my message.

Hello MittenDj, The diameter is the one of the red QHYCCD dovetail that is attached to your Polemaster.

​@@philippeleca8239 is there a specific diameter for the heq5? or can you used either the 36mm diameter or 39mm one?

@@mittendj I have a HEQ5 Pro and have purchased a QHYCCD adapter to attach my Polemaster on it. The QHYCCD adapter dedicated to HEQ5 is 36mm diameter. On my Star-Adventurer+L-bracket, I use a 36 mm diameter 3D-printed adapter, so I can attach my Polemaster on my HEQ5 or my Star-Adventurer+L-bracket. My 3D-printed adapter is dedicated to a specific QHYCCD dovetail's diameter. The 39mm QHYCCD dovetail will not fit my 36mm 3D-printed adapter. The 36mm QHYCCD dovetail will be too small to be tighten by my 39mm 3D-printed adapter. I hope this explanation will help. Best regards

@@philippeleca8239 massively helps thank you so much, apprieciated :D

Bonjour Fifi, Le RPi4 est sous Stellarmate, une distribution Linux.

Merci Fifi, le mérite en revient au collectif Openastrotech. En parallèle, je construit son jumeau, cette fois-ci en imprimant 3D les pièces. Les autres pièces sont approvisionnées à partir des sites qui figurent dans la "shopping list" présente sur le site wiki.openastrotech.com/

Dear Prathamesh, Thank you for your message. No problem on my side, both by using Firefox and Edge. Which browser do you use ?

Dear Christopher, I thank you for your message. The last time I shared such a 3D printable file, a guy made a commercial use of my original design (selling 3D printed parts based on my original design) without my authorisation. You may understand that I do not accept such a behavior, and that I don't want to take once more such a risk. Moreover, I have created my own "little company", to make myself a commercial use of my original designs. In this fully legal context, I pay all the taxes related to this kind of activity. Just for your information, the net income of this activity is used to fund the studies of my two daughters (both at the master degree, respectively in cyber security and digital design). With my best regards, Philippe LECA

Hello Glenn, I thank you for your message. Fell free to visit the following page of my website : www.astrokraken.fr/accessories-for-skywatcher-star-adventurer-mount-a184487612 You will find this adapter in the table, as well as other adapters for Star-Adventurer mount. Best regards, Philippe

Bonjour Dominique, C'est berceau imprimé 3D avec une queue d'aronde inférieure de type Manfrotto 577 ou Vixen ou ArcaSwiss ou Losmandy, tout dépend de la platine de fixation qui est fixée sur l'axe de déclinaison de votre Star-Adventurer.

LOL!!

A software is provided with the polemaster when you purchase it. Just run it, and follow the alignment procedure.

Hello Paul, The Seagull connects with a 3D-printed adapter I have designed. You can find this adapter on the following page of my website : www.astrokraken.fr/accessories-for-skywatcher-star-adventurer-mount-a184487612

Hello, I don't know the dimensions of your lens. Please, measure the diameter of the largest ring ou want to mount the micro-focuser on.

Hi, what diameter have you bought and does it work well ?

Yes indeed ! But it is a free music. Background music will be replaced in the future update of this movie.

Hello Man03, As I 3D-print and sell the parts I have designed through the website of my individual company , you may understand that I wil not share the plans nor the files. The last and only one time I shared my plans and files, the guy made a commercial use of it without my agreement. Another one baught me a part, made copies and sold them, as well without my agreement. You are welcome on the shopping pages of my website, and feel free to purchase the parts you need : www.astrokraken.fr/boutique-c29192952 Best regards, Philippe
