Knock Knock, anybody home!

Can you share a list of the current deives and options that you are using on your scope? Thank You.

Thanks, I really enjoyed this step-by-step guide. Not only does it make it clear how to go through it all, but along the way it also gave a good breakdown on suitable auxiliary equipment to go with the scope. One thing that might be of interest is the range of eyepieces you use on this for visual purposes.

Torturous listening to you stutter

you didnt let him help lift the c14 the heck?

Scott, Jm and Astroworldweb member and live in Walworth NY east of Rochester. I bought the RST-300 through Dan and love it! May I ask if you have success with running the mount in WiFi mode. I have had many problems hang ups. I am close to it, have all updated drivers etc. I miss you on the chat and hope to hear back.

Cracked a lens but didn't do too much damage? Hatd to do much greater damage than shattering optics...

Hi can you show guiding graphic?

What is the C14 like for mirror shift and flop with all over sky pointing? Does it have a mirror lock like I think Meade introduced for their larger scopes? I found with even a C9.25 on large Losmandy rails on a Vixen Atlux + Skysensor2000-PC mount that guiding side saddle or scope on top that it wasn't able to address these issues even in an observatory. With a 300 star Tpoint model I got all over sky pointing easily within 30 arc seconds - but for long subs I had to use an Off Axis Guider. Have you ever tried On Axis Guiding (Foresight Innovation's beam splitter - using a cold mirror) - I would love to hear how that works on a scope of this size! Lastly is the mount offered a great mix for this OTA - is its tracking and pointing that good - (what's its RMS over a 5 minute sub)? Do you really need a higher quality mount for such a large and long focal length OTA? Many thanks, Matt

Scott I'm missing your videos. I hope you guys survived the hurricane. God bless

Do you have any general insights on the guiding performance of this mount?

Thank you very much. This is a great detailing review. ❤️

Hi Scott, I really enjoyed your video, you are so right about "shockingly little on the internet" about these mounts.I am a newbie and my first mount is the Rainbow RST-135E, and I have had a time learning what's needed to use this mount. Your video really helped, did i understand you correctly that first you Polar Align, then you HOME, then you slew to your target? I thought I could polar align, park in that general area, then sleep to my target... could you clear that up for me? I was also interested in the fact you suggested to use Sky Safari as I haven't really chosen that kind of software, i have just been setting up NINA. Rainbow also suggests SkyX? what do you think? sorry for so many questions... thanks again

Thank you for this. I am thinking about the new iOptron mount that is comparable.

Hi Scott. Thanks so much for this beautifully clear video. It’s good to try and get an idea of weight manageability on this 46 lb edge 14 and this helps. I’m guessing however you are a six footer and are at an advantage in mounting this. I was forced to abandon the CPC 11 fixed to the fork mount because weight approached 67 lbs. I will probably opt for a RASA 11 about 42lbs and see how I go. Certainly this gives me hope the C14 could be managed in the field however for planets until I get a permanent set up. Wondering how you find the RST 300, as I’m going to buy one. I believe they weigh about 9 lbs. Going to buy a supermount to go with it again due to carbon fibre lightness. Did you find a counterweight was a must for the mount and how much counterweight was required?

Dad can me and my mates use the big telescope.

Decades old, it's about time harmonic drive systems made their way to amateur telescope mounts.

Love your set up. This is my second viewing of your video. I'm thinking of purchasing this mount. Any updates on what you think about this relvolutionary style mount?

is it mandatory to use the celestron dew controller with this heater?

Hi I want to buy one of these mounts. Which ADM saddle did you buy? You dont mention it and they dont come available with the mount head for free.

What are the part numbers for JMI shown here as I have the Heavy duty Losmandy tripoid and the legs do not fit my tripoid (I have about 150lbs on the unit

Wisdom from a guy who never uses his equipment.

Hanzhen harmonic drive gear , strain wave reducer, robot joint , over 30 years experience

What camera are you using?

I’ve been told that these few rings cause odd diffraction patterns. Have you noticed this?

I’m’ watching this wonderful video a second time. I’m so glad to find someone else with the Celestron 14” Edge HD. It’s a small club. I’ve had mine since 2014. Some of your followers asked about lifting the OTA. I always lift the OTA by myself and slide it up the saddle clamp on the CGX-L. Never a problem. I’m 67 years old and 6’-1”. That said I recently discovered the table method and I bought wheels for the rig. Can you explain why your guide scope on top can’t be used for guiding thus requiring the OAG?

Scott: I love your videos. Can you recommend a good planetary camera for my Celestron 14” Edge HD?

I recently bought an Edge HD 14" with .7X reducer. What camera would you recommend for this setup for deep sky AP? Thank you.

Great review, just what I was looking for.

Dude, that is one long intro. 😀

It’s such a shame now days that most Americans can’t seem to string more than three words together without an err or an uhm coming between them Sorry but I had to drop this review

Why do I need an harmonic drive mount? Happy with my CEM120 and CEM60 for portable use. When this is 8K$ count me out. I would never pay that for a mount. Despite all of the hype you don't need anything fancy when you're moving at sidereal rate. There are a lot of capabile mounts in the 1-3k$ range. Besides, ZWO have just annouced their own harmonic mount. That will bring the price down. My advice is don't be an early adopter, wait a couple of years for the technology to prove itself and the bugs to be worked out. Then buy one at a much better price point.

Thanks for sharing but the intro was way too long. Almost stopped watching at that point.

Great Review!! Would this unit work with the ZWO ASI Air Pro/Plus instead of the Eagle? do you know if the Celestron Aluminum Dew Shield with Cover Cap will fit with two D size plates installed (as you have)? Are you using the optional thermistor to control temps? I'm going to check you out on AstroWorldTV.

Excellent setup indeed... I've seen several of your last videoswhere you migrated from a clutch and worm-wormwheel based CGX-L mount to a much advanced technology Strainwave Harmonic Drive Rainbow Astro mount... Can't wait to see your reviews on your rig... One question though... I have no doubt that Rainbow RST mount is decades ahead of the CGX-L mount, but since the RST doesn't have RA and DEC clutches and therefore when you roll your wheely bar over different types of surfaces will not the harmonic drive get jerks with the weight of 45lbs EdgeHD 14"? On the other side people have strongly recommended to disengage the clutches in traditional Synta made mounts like the CGX-L or EQ6/EQ8 mounts when traveling or they're getting rolled on a dolly system... Is it probably the harmonic drive is strong enough to bear the stress/jerks from your heavy EdgeHD 14" even when it is in motion?

Your telescope is in an upright position. Inverted suggests the telescope is pointing down toward the ground. What screwdriver did you use? How tight were the screws torqued down?

Nice

I'm so interested to see some data from that rig? Especially the tracking of your harmonic drive mount, curious to know how much data is kept/thrown out.

Good to see you again! Interesting topic, I don't have a large rig like one you have, but good to know about new product. Looking forward to see more about the Rainbow mount. And I will check the AstroWorldTV channel.

celestron c14 edge hd : 21kg how the fuck are you so strong you put that on it like if it's a 150/750 DUDE i have difficulty with my 200/1000 what da fuck D:

Welcome Back! Still alive! Been waiting for your new videos. Exciting for all new videos coming up! NY to FL! I was from NY to GA. We are closer.

Why are you showing Hubble images?

Great video. By the way, what is the music playing at the end of the video?

A Telrad on a rig like that? What for???

informative, precise. I want more.

Thank you for sharing BRAVO

I'm looking at going mono.. this was a good explaination of the EFW. Thanks.

Nice video, safety first. One more advice, take off the front telescope lid before you lift it onto the mount. Of course, you must be careful not to get too many fingerprint on the glass. (Not dangerous). If you hold the telescope partly with your hand on the lid, it can come off at a critical timing and you might drop the whole scope.

Another excellent video sir.
