Haha you're right, its odd seeing different lattitude settings on other peoples mounts 😄 I'm often a bit jealous when the Milkyway is high in the sky for people closer to the equator: Imaging M16 (eagle nebula) is already quite ambitious so low over the horizon here :D Clear skies!
Came Across your video today. We re running similar rigs. Did you see the ASCOMSonyCameraDriver on git hub. I Tested it and seams to working with Nina. haven't tested in the field yet. Interested in seeing if it will plate solve and 3 point polar align?. Have you had any issues powering devices thru the quiter Mini PC? I may be having some issues with QHY 183 camera at times with lines in my frame, may have to do with how much usb traffic, not sure. What Powered USB hub did you go with? Are you using the Hot spot on the PC or do you have anther way of connecting.
Hey, somehow missed your comment before. Yes I used the Sony ASCOM driver on Github, works quite well with NINA, the plate solving works quite nice with the driver, that I can assure you. The power over the MeLe PC works fine and the USB load, too, but I have also a 12V supply on my astro cam itself. My USB Hub is not powered, its a pretty generic USB3 hub from Amazon. I am not using a hotspot on the PC, it is integrated into my Home Wifi and I connect remotely with Windows Remote. Hope that answers some of your questions, clear skies!
Another excellent upload, Chris! What a lovely rig, that'll keep you busy for years! Have a great week, mate! :)
It surely will, thank you very much! 😉
Danke für die Vorstellung deiner Ausrüstung 👍
Dank dir für den Kommentar🙌🏻
Great site, just found your channel.
Always surprising how far up north you folks in Europe are. I'm definitely not used to seeing a mount tilted that far behind :)

Clear skies!
@@ChrizzlyUniverse clear skies! I have the same mount running a 25kg payload and I see guiding around 1”.
