- In this video we'd like to show you how to set up you entire gear (of course including AM5 mount) and do the wiring thing with the help of ASIAIR Plus.
No voiceover, just a quick video. Hope it is enjoyable to watch. ;D
What we need is a system wherein all these accessories are built in with no external cables to mess with. Looks like a jungle with all these wires hanging around!
I suspect ZWO is working on it. However realize that most of us prefer to be able to independently choose different brands for each item that we are using for Astro imaging. ZWO is slowly locking people into their brand only, e.g., ASI Air Pro. Personally I don't mind that because I like their products but I know people don't like feeling "mandated" by any company.
Yes, Bluetooth or proprietary technology would be great.
Just do cable management instead of letting everything hang down like a rats nest.
Integrating everything together, with possibly - proprietary solutions, just makes a situation where a single point of failure renders the entire set-up inoperable inevitable. Such a situation just doesn't happen in modular system.
There are solutions for people who don't want the hassle of setting up a complex system and just want to take some pictures. Stellina being the most recognizable.
I agree...that's not my idea of "cable management"....more like "cable entropy"! lol. The good news is that it won't be difficult to tie up all the cables that run between the focuser, main camera, guiding camera, dew heating straps, and ASIAIR (and/or replace some of those cables with shorter ones) However, the bad news is that the power & USB cables running from the end of the mount's RA Axis to the ASIAIR on the telescope could get pulled or snagged as the mount slews to a target, as the mount slews to a star for focusing, and when the mount has to do a meridian flip. That means that imagers may need to 'babysit' their system when the telescope has to slew or perform a meridian flip, and that means either not being able to sleep or doing chores, or at minimum, having one's sleep interrupted several times each night. IMHO, to solve that worry, ZWO really needs to implement through-the-mount cabling, like many familiar equatorial mounts now do & like the iOptron harmonic mount does. This is an area where ZWO & Rainbow Astro really need to improve their product !
can you please share the cable specs? doesn't seems to be universal cables. Thanks.
Easy cable management? TBH that cable management looks like shit 🤣
i guess no cable management is easy
