Hi mate and thanks for tuning in…yes indeed, you can use a Canon M on it, you just need to get a T ring with the Canon M fitting. Hope that helps! 😀

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for tuning in! 👍🏻🔭📸

🤙🤣

Lol! Thanks mate! :)

Highly recommended Pete and mine has been working flawlessly! I love the form factor and after trying a couple of other focusers on my Esprit 100 already (Pegasus and ZWO), this Astroasis one has been the best and most reliable for sure. Best of luck and let us know how you get on with it! :)

Thanks Pete! Going to run it natively for imaging and also do some EAA and Livestreams with a Starizona Nexus to speed it up a bit…stat tuned! ;) Hope you’re well mate and having a great week!

Thanks!

Thanks for tuning in mate and glad you found it helpful! :) If you can swing it, I'd say go for the 150 for increased aperture, while still maintaining the portability...if not, the 127 is still a peach, in my opinion. Best of luck and let us know what you decide on... :)

Hi mate, I’ve had zero issues with tilt on my rig and the Astrodymium clamps really keep everything nicely snug, so I never have any play at all. Maybe I’ve just been lucky, but I’ve had no problems with it. Enjoy the DUO and let us know how you get on with it! :)

@@scotiaastro Thanks! Maybe I'll just grab the filter drawer attachment as an easy way to attach the camera to the lens even if I dont plan on using filters immediately . I'm assuming not using a filter doesn't affect anything, correct?

Hi mate, thanks for tuning in. As I understand it, the early runs of the SA GTis only came with one counterweight, but as folk quickly realised and feedback suggested a second would be handy, then the new production runs came with two as standard (like mine). So, if you’ve ordered recently then yours should have two, but they are available to purchase individually too, if you ever need more, Hope that helps and have fun with it, it’s a fun wee unit.

@ ok yeah that’s what I thought, I ordered it from sky watcher USA and it still hasn’t come. In the description it says 1 counter weight, so maybe it’s out of date

Thanks so much for tuning in, mate! :) Sorry for the confusion, but if you skip ahead to the 3:15 mark on my video, you'll see the 2 inch to 1.25 inch adapter that I sometimes use if the equipment I'm using is 1.25 inch. That way, I get the best of both worlds! :) Hope that helps, but any other questions just fire them over and good luck with your Skymax! :)

@@scotiaastro Thanks! I m reading that using 2inch on a 1.25 opening gives issues in the corners. How to avoid that?

And followed on insta etc.

I see you also have the Sigma 24mm ART. It is great. I use it for landscapes all the time.

Thanks Logan…I was struggling to find a focuser that I liked on my Esprit 100 and had already tried a couple of options, but this fit the bill perfectly! Yes indeed, happy to pay a bit more for quality too! Hope you and your family are all well and take care, mate… 🔭📸

Great tip, thanks for sharing! 👍🏻🔭📸

Hey Will! Thanks for tuning in mate! :) You'll have no problems with the ZWO 30mm on the 150PDS...I have a TS Photon 150 and use it on that too, so it's a nice match. Good luck on your astro journey and loving your content! Best wishes, Steve :)

No worries, Tom! Thanks for tuning in...yes, an option with the Samyang 135 would be great! I'd suggest you reach out to Astroasis via email and ask, they're super responsive and seem keen to adapt the focuser to as many setup options as possible, so they might be able to advise on that. :)

No problem 😊

Thanks so much for tuning in mate! :) Yes, I hear ya in regards to the cost, but for my use cases, the additional load capability and the other features that the Rose provides is certainly worth it...I have three ZWO EAFs BTW and love them too, so room for both options. Haven't tried the Gemini yet but heard good things about it, glad it's working well for your setup. Have a great weekend and best wishes! :)

The backlash can be compensated by "Overshoot" compensation method. Many applications (such as NINA, SGP etc) implement the "Overshoot" backlash compensation method. The Rose focuser itself implements this method too. It can be enabled or disabled through focuser configuration. And instead of using flex components, the gears and rigid components used by Rose focuser can provide excellent backlash compensation performance.

Awesome Stuart! Just saw your video this morning (it was great!)...nice to see how it fits to other systems! Take care mate and clear skies to you! :)

Thanks buddy, hope it was helpful...have a great weekend and best wishes! :)

Will it woke with asi air

@@chamithathukorala1985 no

@@chamithathukorala1985 Not likely - ZWO lock the asiair to use ZWO focusers/cameras/guide cameras only. The only freedom you have is mount choice (to a point)

@@Visualographer_ LOL! I know what you mean mate! ;)

Hey mate, thanks for tuning in! I generally only auto-guide with the Samyang if I'm imaging over 180s...the AZ-EQ6 GT Pro does ok unguided under that...I recently got a Star Adventurer GTi, so the Samyang lives there permanently as it looks a bit ridiculous on the large mounts! LoL!

@@scotiaastro Thank you :)

Thanks for tuning in Gene and glad it helped! :)
