Hi,
I have the opportunity to use a Meade LX200 16-inch SCT located in Chile for a few days. The Meade is currently set up for visual. I would like to get your input and advice on how, or if, it can be set up for astrophotograhy using ZWO equipment.
Particulars of the scope are as follows:
Meade LX200 16 inch
Hand controller for GOTO
Standard for Alt-Az mount with plug for auxiliary devices
Derotator
Orion 8X50 guidescope
JMI Event Horizon focuser
The astrophotography equipment I have that I'd like to use with the Meade:
ZWO ASI120mm guide camera
ZWO ASIir Pro controller
ZWO ASI2600MC Pro CMOS camera
ZWO Electronic Autofocuser
My questions:
- Would connecting the ZWOAir Pro controller to the Meade mount via the plug for auxiliary devices work to control the mount? If so what kind of plugs would work? Any additional software required?
- How can I attach my ZWO electronic autofocuser to the JMI?
- How do I attach my ZWO ASIAir Pro to the scope/mount?
Thanks for your kind input!
