The great thing about an equatorial sundial is that it is spaced evenly no matter where you are on the globe, and you only need to adjust the angle at which it sits relative to your latitude, so that the gnomon is parallel to the Earth's…

Comming Soon! The accuracy of this equatorial mount is very high. I believe that it is comparable to products on the market. Since the gears are commercially available, only about 10 parts need to be 3D printed, so the printing time and…
Introduction Hello! I'm Zach, and over the last few months I've been working on designing and building a 3d-printable harmonic drive equatorial mount that can accurately track the sky for astrophotography. I've gone through a few…
Now that the snow is practically gone & one can enjoy hiking through the woods or park again, wouldn't it be cool to have an old fashion way of telling the time where ever you go without having to rely on a distracting phone? To learn…
I have built equatorial mounts utilising harmonic reduction and cycloidal reduction mechanisms. This time, I designed an equatorial mount using pulley belts for reduction. A three-stage reduction of 1:5.33 was combined with a Nema11 motor…
Not much to say here. This is the first “mod” for Hadley (and other such telescopes), which is an intrinsically modular system. It was very highly requested, so I tested it on a heavy refractor I made in the same telescope footprint. I…
I recently got a Dwarf 3 telescope and wanted to improve a little its use when in EQ Mode. Al the other solutions I found where a little to over engineered and I wanted something simple, light and easy to travel with. This one fits in the…
This is a geodesic sphere or hemisphere for OpenSCAD, using the same arguments as OpenSCAD's sphere(). It is based on my geodesic hemisphere , derived from the Geodesic Sphere (icosahedral sphere) by Jamie Kawabata. Explanation The…
It weighs approximately 1.5 kg and can reliably slew (GOTO) and track telescope setups of up to about 5 kg. For astrophotography with a telescope, active guiding is required. Cost of all the parts for the mount is around 200 € without…
I recently got an Orion telescope with their EQ-1 equatorial mount that's used with various models. The included tray was ok, but there's no organization for your accessories and they end up jumbled. This improved accessory tray has…
Overview Hadley Harmonic is designed to be a low cost alternative to COTS strain wave equatorial mounts. I recommend running OnStep* on an esp32. It integrates nicely with hillexed's Hill Mount and is designed to hold the imperial version…
his is my record of a DIY equatorial mount for astronomy use. It is a design based on collated ideas from other projects and and it is designed to be built easily using readaily available parts and 3D printed parts. Whilst the goal has…
Print without supports. Fix holes using 1mm drill bit(carefully! and do it manually :) ) Cut 1mm steel wire, and connect parts. Optionally, you can add string. How to read hour? 1. Open protractor, and tilt it by 90 deg 2. Open gnomon and…
ULTIMO AGGIORNAMENTO Ho aggiunto il manuale di montaggio sia in italiano che in inglese che renderà sicuramente più semplice l'assemblaggio delle componenti stampate e le viterie varie. Aggiornamento. Ho modificato diverse cose tra cui la…
This is a motorized equatorial sky tracker designed for long-exposure astrophotography. The tracker rotates a single polar axis at sidereal rate, allowing a fixed camera to follow the motion of the night sky and eliminate star trailing…
