thank you
You are welcome!
Az-Gti-X has an Alt/Az or Eq option in the software now.
That’s good to know. Thanks for the update. Cheers!!
What is the great”er’ advantage in EQ mode?
AZ can also take photos… is it the max exposers time before jitter or that you can’t start track/plate resolve in AZ?
It’s a GpTo mount should it not drive well enough
Thanks for watching! That is an interesting question. Of course, AZ mounts can also take pictures. The EQ mode definitely has its own advantages; that’s why most astrophotographers use EQ mode. Can’t specifically mention the advantages here. I would suggest that you watch some videos on this topic. Cheers!!
Great video! Would you be so kind as to list the parts numbers for this upgrade and where you can get them? Thank you!
Thanks for watching!! I’m glad that the video was helpful. There are no specific parts for this upgrade except the latitude base and software upgrade. Here’s the link:

The software update is on Sky-Watcher website.
great video, i do have a question. Can i use the SVBONY 503 80mm on the AZ-GTi mount. the Svbony 503 80mm is 3.5kg weight ,so that should be fine???. thank you
Thanks Patrick!! You are good so long as the total payload does not exceed 5kg. Clear skies!
thanks mate, i will let you know how i go
Hi, for me meridian flip doesnt work. I am using ASIAIR to control the mount in wifi mode via synscan. Could you please tell me if there may be any setting which I might be missing.
Thanks for watching! I myself didn’t try. The meridian flip with Sky-Watcher mount. Can’t csst anything without knowing the details of your settings. In addition to mount and ASIAIR settings, Meridian flip also depends on your location and time of the year you are imaging. Cheers!!
thank you so much
@ank0204raj You are very welcome!!
Does this stand have a plastic body and a plastic vertical adjustment gear?
Thanks for watching! No, it's not plastic but plastic coated or something like that. Actually, it's a metallic tripod and metallic mount. Cheers!
@@AstroCrescentDIY спасибо за ответ, очень помогли!
@@B_a_c_k пожалуйста!!
all i keep getting when i try to update is no controller found
That’s strange. I did the upgrade twice - first to try out myself and then to make the video. No problem at all. Did you follow all the steps? And selected the correct software update?
For some reason mine didn’t work
Sorry to hear that. Hope it works when you try again! Cheers!!
