Hello all,
does anyone have a good tip on how I can operate an Apo with filter wheel and OAG on my Avalon M-Zero? The OAG touches the bottom of the mount. If I turn the filter wheel and OAG to the side, it might just fit, but I wouldn't be very flexible with the rotation. My only idea would be to put an extension between the OAG and the filter wheel and then rotate the OAG.
Hi, I had the same problem using a Borg 76, SX CCD camera, 5 pos FW and Lodestar. Have you tried to adjust the location of the main arm [silver finish] on the m-zero mount. You may ned to move it all the ay towards the centre of rotation to gain enough clearance and then - perhaps - use more CW to obtain balance?
Hi! Thanks for the input. I really forgot that you can move the arm. Unfortunately that doesn't help either, I have now moved the arm to the top position, unfortunately not enough. See the photo: ibb.co/nk5d3f4
Hi Dane,
I used the same riser blocks successfully, but decided I wanted everything as compact as possible for travel, so used rotating spacers to make it all work.
