ZWO AM5 meridian flip William Optics Fluorostar 91 plus a wayward SD card reader astrophotography 🔭

Had to check out the meridian flip on my new @zwoastronomycameras545 ZWO AM5 mount carrying a nice little payload of a @williamoptics5164 Fluorostar 91 refractor scope.

Hi, does the ZWO camera hit the legs of the tripod without using the extension tube? I have the same setup so I want to see if the extension tube is compulsory for this setup

I thought this was such a good question I'm making a video about it at the moment. But my opinion is yes, in the testing I've just done without the pier and it pointing at the zenith you are at risk of the camera pushing into a leg. But also if you have a filter wheel then absoutly mandatory

[@travelanddrones]

OK, THKS for answering, I'll be waiting for that video@@GlennMartinPhotography
