The HD tripod accepts a 1/2” bolt down into the top. You need one 6” long. The ZWO 200 pier extension black base center hole is a bit under 1/2” so it needs drilled out to 1/2”. ?Can’t

I’ve found these reusable zip ties to be handy at times, to temporarily bundle cables together. They hold like a regular zip tie, but have a built-in lever to unlock them when you need to un-bundle

Many folks, myself included use a lightweight woven split nylon type cable sleeving like this: *Alextech wire loom (

LOL, the Astro Hutech folks are very nice people but not wasting their time on the website which is from the stone ages.? AFAIK the Losmandy reticles are rarely seen on the website, you need to call

Thanks. The picture you showed is what I want to do. One question, and I am unsure if you answered originally. How did you bolt the MAL to MA adapter to the pier extension? Doesn’t the pier

None needed. ?The black base plate of the ZWO 200 pier extension sits directly on the MAL to MA adapter. Stable as can be.

Chip, Ryan, thank you very much for the very detailed feedback! I do appreciate that. Tracking numbers look very good - About cable management, Dave, I like your idea to stiffen the cables using

Hey Luca, I have never used an iOptron mount. I was thinking about a CEM70 at one point and opted for the G11 and I haven't looked back. I agree with all of Chip's points. As far as cable management

Hello everybody, I'm starting again astrophotography after 3 years of stop (kid was born - I needed to sleep) and I'm looking now for a new mount with adequate capacity. I was originally considering

You can buy a new reticle from Losmandy directly.

That's interesting. What adapter plate did you use between the Losmandy head and the ZWO extension? John -- ____________________________________________

I needed the extra height of the Losmandy head plus the ZWO 200 pier extension to get my Stellarvue SVX140 from hitting the tripod legs when near vertical. if I put an EFW and OAG on I may need to add

I will also add that my recommendation is that while you should attempt to refine your polar alignment error, I'm not personally convinced that you should trust it to the Nth degree; that is, I

That seems like a great plan to me. I also use the Polemaster most consistently. I also have used the NINA 3-point PA (TPA) and the PHD2 Drift Align. To me the Polemaster is the most consistent and

Jim, Not sure why you want to attach the ZWO parts to the MAL head. Just take that head off and put it aside, then bolt your ZWO extension to the flat tripod head base. The Losmandy tripod is way

Does anyone know where I can buy the updated reticle for the G-11 polar scope? My G-11 mount is 30 years old and works fine, but I've outlived the reticle, which has no alignment marks after 2010. -

Ryan, Thanks so much for your time looking at this and your observations, it definitely gives me a starting point of what to look at. My current plan is to adjust what I can with the mount as it is
