How to provide a rotating focuser to EdgeHD 8” with 0.7x reducer for deep-sky astrophotography
How to provide a rotating focuser to EdgeHD 8” with 0.7x reducer for deep-sky astrophotographyEdgeHD 8″ telescope comes standard with an internal focuser and, if you want to use it for astrophotography, using an external focuser allows you to lock the primary mirror (by using the locking screws provided in telescope rear cell) and prevent mirror shift during astrophotography sessions. More, by adding a rotator allows you to better frame the object and to use this telescope also with alt-azi mounts for deep-sky astrophotography. In this article we’ll see how to use a rotating focuser to EdgeHD 8” also if you want to use it with the dedicated 0.7x reducer.
How to use ECCO-NTC adapter to automate control of Dew Heater Rings with EAGLE computer and ECCO environmental controller
How to use ECCO-NTC adapter to automate control of Dew Heater Rings with EAGLE computer and ECCO environmental controllerSC, EdgeHD and RASA telescopes come with a closed tube and a front corrector plate that provide many advantages also for astrophotography. But this needs to be protected against dew in particular environmental conditions. By connecting Dew Heater Ring (also with Aluminum Dew Shield) to the EAGLE computer and by using the ECCO2 controller with ECCO-NTC adapter, you can create the best dew prevention solution for SC, EdgeHD and RASA telescopes and automate power provided to Dew Heater Ring based on real time dew point monitoring.
Installing EAGLE onto your telescope
Installing EAGLE onto your telescopeEAGLE has been specifically designed to be installed onto telescopes thanks to the PLUS aluminum chassis that offers many threaded holes on both top and bottom side. This way you can connect it to any telescope, no matter the telescope design and dimensions, by using the PLUS elements (rings, dovetail plates or clamps). You can install the EAGLE between support and guide rings, connected to a Vixen or Losmandy style dovetail bar through the appropriate optional clamp, you can install it below support rings of compact telescopes, in parallel of SC type telescopes, and much more! Let’s explore the various possible configurations, depending on the telescope EAGLE has to be installed on, using both other PLUS elements and different instruments.
