I purchased the Astro-Tech 0.8x reducer/field flattener for Astro-Tech AT80EDT triplet apo refractor for my Svbony sv550 80 scope. They have the same exact scope specs.
@AstroCreation ok, im assuming the mini you had doesn't project wifi? I was wondering if it was an extender. I'm using the mele overclock 4c. It creates it's own hotspot that is awesome for connecting to my inside laptop, but it is a bit limited in range. Also, did you notice any pinched optics in your time with the 550 80? I have nearly the same rig. I love it, but I get pretty heavy pinching around the edges. Using the 533mc, hate to see how bad it would be with full frame.
@@cheftonyt The reason I got the adapter is that the telescope is located on the other side of the house where Wi-Fi router is placed. I had wanted to have a strong signal, so I went with this wi-fi adapter solution. "Also, did you notice any pinched optics in your time with the 550 80?" - I used this scope with IMX 571 sensor and 1.0x flattener. Left corners of the image look good, while the right side is slightly off from being perfect. I assumed it's because I could have slight tilt in the camera. On the other hand, it's weird a little that you have "bad" corners with IMX 533 sensor. I've tested this telescope with IMX 533 sensor, and my corners looked good. Currently I am in the middle of making a full review video about 80mm SV550. I hope to finish with it by the end of this weekend.
Most of them I buy off Amazon. By the way, I am planning to film another video about cable management and specific cables I use with my telescopes. I've had experience with different cables for two years now, so I can tell what cables last longer.
The price would depend if you purchase brand new equipment or used. The featured rig in the video includes the following: Telescope SvBony SV550 80mm Reducer: SV193 0.8x Reducer/Flattener Mount: Sky-Watcher HEQ5-Pro Camera: ZWO 2600MC Pro Filter Wheel: ZWO (5-position, 2-inch size) Filters: SV220, Optolong L-Pro, ZWO DUO, UV-IR-cut, Dark Filter Focuser: ZWO EAF Guide-scope: SvBony SV165 Guide-camera: ZWO ASI224MC Mini PC: GMKtec Nucbox5 Powerbox: Pegasus Astro Mini There are also some adapters and cords I was purchasing separately.
The cable management job is awesome, shows real dedication. Kudos!
Thank you! Cable management makes things so much easier!

Thank you!
Excelent setup !!! 🎉
Thanks!
Nice scope setup.

Hi, George where did you get the clips for the cables?
I got them on Amazon
hi, you have a 0,8 reducer from sv550-122mm on the sv550-80mm ? is this possible or a fake ? We good ist the flattener in Picture ?
What are those tiny stick on cable guides you use called?
I guess you're asking about cable zip ties
I have this telescope, this is a real bargain. Only issue I get is pinched optics on bright stars.
I'm waiting for a clear night to point SV550 towards Vega or different bright objects and take some images.
What antenna are you using attached to the usb hub?
I use this Wi-Fi adapter - TP-Link AC600. I got it on Amazon here: amzn.to/46DrRge

Where did you get those short USB and DC power cables? I'd like to buy some myself.

What would the total cost of this rig be?
The price would depend if you purchase brand new equipment or used. The featured rig in the video includes the following:
Telescope SvBony SV550 80mm
Reducer: SV193 0.8x Reducer/Flattener
Mount: Sky-Watcher HEQ5-Pro
Camera: ZWO 2600MC Pro
Filter Wheel: ZWO (5-position, 2-inch size)
Filters: SV220, Optolong L-Pro, ZWO DUO, UV-IR-cut, Dark Filter
Focuser: ZWO EAF
Guide-scope: SvBony SV165
Guide-camera: ZWO ASI224MC
Mini PC: GMKtec Nucbox5
Powerbox: Pegasus Astro Mini
There are also some adapters and cords I was purchasing separately.
The whole setup that includes the mount is about $5000 but maybe even way more if he has very expensive filters.
@@southbronxny5727 Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the mount (HEQ5-Pro). I just added it to my previous comment.
