EQ Mount

[botok]

Betul ke yg EQ mount ni agak sukar untuk digunakan pada kawasan yg dekat dengan garisan khatulistiwa seperti contoh Malaysia ni? Apa yg menjadikan ianya susah? Susah nak polar align ker? (camne gaya nak polar align kalau polaris pun tak nampak?)

Ada tak panduan yg boleh kita dapat untuk cara-cara untuk mengunakan EQ Mount nih? Saya dok tgh godek2 tapi tak paham-paham.. ehehehe

EQ mount is the easy to handle. In equtorial country, we are not learning about polar alignment, but Drift alignment!!  If you good enough, within 20-30 min actually you can get the stars in the center of FOV for about 5-10min. Even 1 hours also no problem.

But the condition is whether the tracking system on your mount are near to perfect? Gearing accuracy is important in EQ mount. that's why they always mentioned about mount autoguider system.

try to faham this before your go into drift alignment process.

secara peribadi, dulu pernah guna eq mount untuk telescope 10 inch starfinder tu, problem is setup dia leceh sikit. Tapi kalau kita nak guna setakat viewing aje, accuracy tak perlu sangat, tapi kalau nak buat imaging, memang kena inch perfect!

Actually EQ mount very easy to setup one. What Shah said is correct.
nothing susah sangat in astronomy....)))

My mindset in astronomy,

"why complicate things when it can blew the fun away!"

 

[kamayok3]

Astronomy is FUN!!!!!

Keep it on...

Always remember this......

"I’ve learned that size or aperture is not the most important aspect; it’s the intention of the user that matters! Even a small scope can deliver, but the observer must be prepeared to sacrifice some time and effort.. "

Hope this help....I always follow this prinsip!!

Haah betul2 tu, disebabkan x dapat nak guna EQ dgn cara yg betul semalam apalagi lock RA dgn DEC, bukak Alt dgn Az ler... ehehehe... senang skit. Takpe anyway saya nak try jeh camne EQ ni bekerja bukan nak guna utk photography at least i know how to operate the thing

Thanks Tommy nanti saya try drift align malam ni. Haaa lagi satu apa dah jadi ngan bro rizal kita ni senyap jeh, nak gak dengar cerita ETX dia tu...

[kamayok3]

plan for a stargazing session la!

Bila nak?

Tommy

[botok]

Ok gak tuh. Saya sokong jeh
Tapi all my equipments ada kat Alor Star. Kat KL nih ada ler binocular yg dah jadik monocular dibaling ke dinding oleh anak
Anyway kalau u all buat stargazing i can join punya if the time is right boleh jugak tumpang sibuk2

Tommy jadi penganjur! Saya cadang... sape sokong?

[kamayok3]

No problem...you all can join our society members to go stargazing.

Kalau ada stargazing session, I will post it in here about the date and time also the place,ok?

siapa jadi penganjur pun tak apa, asalkan ada aktiviti. Betul tak?

Tommy

[shahgazer]

penganjur kena support makan ler.. hehehe...

actually we can make a mini gathering lar... can do at my house... west, south, east sky clear, tapi north kena block... boleh lepak depan rumah i..

kalau tak buat stargazing pun, boleh discuss on equipment etc etc...

[kamayok3]

Boleh juga.....kasih alamat la!

Set a date and time........

Tommy

[shahgazer]

isyhh.. bahaya publish alamat kat sini!    

kena tengok sape yg berminat, kita set time date, dan saya akan PM masing-masing secara individu

tapi secara roughly kat Sri Damansara.
