    Great video, thanks. I have a vixen dovetail left over from my attempt to use my 8" HD on a wedge-modified evolution mount which was not very satisfying! I'm planning to reuse the vixen to mount the guidescope on the Edge with a new AM5 mount. I bought the same 60mm you show in the video, coincidentally. I am hoping for a very stable and repeatable setup with very little flexure for guiding with ASIAIR. It's all portable; so it will be set up then broken down each night. Does the setup work well for you? I'm still concerned about the knurled knobs and whether they maintain a solid pointing even when the scope is turned during the evening while guiding or moving to other targets. Thanks again.

    Thank you for this video. I just got an Edge 8 HD plus a AVX mount and a bunch of goodies for a truly amazing deal. So I have an almost identical setup, same telescope and camera, guide scope and guide camera, but I'm using an EQR6-PRO. I also just ordered the .7 focal reducer. I'm just now realizing that I will need a filter drawer for my dual band 2 inch filter. (This is an expensive hobby!) Are you still using the Svbony guide scope with your Edge 8 HD? I've heard people get better results with OAG, so I was considering that, but wanted to hear from others too. All of your videos have been great. Thanks again! Aaron in Minnesota.

      Congratulations on purchase of the new Astro gear. This is probably the best for planets and small galaxies. I didn’t use the SV Bony guidescope much because of its weight. My AVX mount is limited to only 30 lbs. I was thinking of getting either EQ6R-Pro or ZWO AM5. But things changed drastically and I’m not able to wake up at nights for Astro imaging for the time being. Good luck with your new setup. I’m sure you will enjoy it a lot. And yes, it’s an expensive hobby without any doubt. Cheers!!

      Thanks for watching! That is an interesting question. Of course, AZ mounts can also take pictures. The EQ mode definitely has its own advantages; that’s why most astrophotographers use EQ mode. Can’t specifically mention the advantages here. I would suggest that you watch some videos on this topic. Cheers!!
