Comparing the ZWO AM5 and AM5N Mounts
In this video I show you the differences and improvements between the original ZWO AM5 strain wave mount, and the newly released @zwoastro AM5N. ZWO was kind enough to lone me both of these mounts for reviewing purposes.

    I've owned the AM5 for several months and just love it. Pragmatically, I see nothing on the AM5N that can justify the cost of upgrading. Having said that, I'm a neat freak. Not having the saddle ports is just eating at me ...

    I noticed that when you open Photoshop the first thing you do is adjust the black point of the three colors. Have you ever tried that in Siril's GHS. I've begun to adjust the black point of the colors separately just until they start to clip. It changes the color of the object somewhat but I kind of like it. Is this a good idea in your opinion?

    First of all hi!!! that was a great tutorial but i have a different situation. I dont have "bias frames" and "dark frames" at all, but I do have a "dark master" because they do a "dark masters" regulary for the telescope i used so they just sent the "dark master" to me. So I cant calibrate "flat frames" with "bias frames" (because I dont have them), but when I tried to calibrate with "dark master" (I checked online and they said that the "dark frames" already have the bias frames inside of them) but it didnt work. what should i do?

    • @DeepSpaceAstro
      @DeepSpaceAstro 13 часов назад

      Thanks! Just just follow the part about the 'Lights' frames, and in the Calibration tab, tick Use Dark, and select your dark library. Then run the calibration.

      I only just received the AM5N from ZWO to review. Last night was the first time guiding, and seeing was horrible. I couldn't get a good calibration completed, but it did guide ~.75 total. ZWO says up to 44lbs with a counterweight, and they have a picture of a C11 w/o the weight on their website. I'm still researching though.

    Did it take you several sessions to obtain the 8.4 hrs? When it came to stack them did you use Sirilc or did you just combine all the lights together in one lights folder? If using Sirilc did you have separate flats folders for each session? Did you use master dark and bias (dark flats) files? I use MacOS on a new M3 MacBook Pro with 36g of ram and found Siril 1.2.3 very slow under this platform. Apparently other MacOS users have experienced this issue. I've downgraded to 1.2.1. I've used GraxPert in 1.2.1 a couple of months ago and don't remember seeing the autostrech anomaly. Maybe try on 1.2.1.

    • @DeepSpaceAstro
      @DeepSpaceAstro 3 дня назад

      8.4hrs? Did I say that in the video? If so, that's wrong. This was ~2.5hrs. To your question though... If I image the same object over multiple nights, and those nights were consecutive allowing me to leave my rig untouched, I use the same set of flats for all nights, and throw all the lights into the Lights folder, and stack in Siril. Nowadays I use master darks and biases, so no need to shoot those for each session. Now if those multiple nights are not consecutive, and I have to tear down and setup again each night, then yes I shoot a set of flats for each night, and then use SirilIC.

    So you know almost all USB 3.0 hubs offer the same features, over protection. It's $200 is $100 to much, I would expect the price will come down when it does not sell? Most don't need that much current from the 3.0 ports. If all 6 USB ports supplies 2.5 amps per port then 15 amps and the included is only 5 so it can't supply that much, unless they are talking for just 1 USB 3 port? Really good testing!!

    • @DeepSpaceAstro

    Please do something different that other AM5N reviews don't. Please review the AM5N using you C8 Edge (without Hyperstar). When testing the guiding performance plate test with an OAG at the focal reducer focal length and at native focal length. I've been asking opinions of current reviewers if an AM5N would be a good mount for SCTs for guiding and no one wants to commit to an opinion without testing. Please don't use a wide angle refractor as any mount guides those scopes adequately. Thanks.
