TerryMcK Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Just been looking at the Astronetics 3D printed kit that can mount the Samyang/Rokinon 135mm lens complete with a focuser, guide scope and a computer like an ASIAir or RaspberryPI. I especially liked the ability to focus as even this wide field of view lens need a bit of automated help. Antoine and Dalia show it on their Youtube channel Galactic Hunter. It looks good for people using this lens on an astro camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 I know this is an old post but I've been planning something like this for a while. There are a number of files on the web of varying usefulness. I plan a mash up but haven't decided whether to go with a skywatcher auto-focuser and stick PWM on it (I did that before and made an ASCOM driver for it too) or go the traditional route of a stepper motor. The controller will be an RPi3 for autoguiding on the HEQ5 (mainly because I don't want to tear down my widefield setup with its Asiair pro).
