eqdir+QHY5 ?
      #3031364 - 04/08/09 04:59 AM

greetings to all,

I am about to replace mine web cam, which I use for guiding and to move to a larger chip, to a QHY5 ccd camera and I have some thoughts concerning possible problems.

My setup includes a shoestring EQDIR interface which I use for the "goto" functions replacing the handset of my EQ6(white). As for the guiding I am thinking to use the QHY5 capability to be connected directly to my EQ6 mount.

do you think that there will be any similarity/compatibility" problem to this setup?

can any owners with EQDIR and QHY5 out there verify to me that this setup works fine?

I almost sure that there is no problem and I am asking just in case.

thanking you all in advance

Nicholas

I guide my HEQ5 SynTrek with QHY5 on finderscope, connected by ST4 cable, and controlling (GoTo) HEQ5 mount by EQDIR/EQMOD. Works nice.
