This is a 3D printed fixed equatorial wedge for the ZWO SeeStar S50 telescope. It is supposed to be mounted between the ZWO provided tripod and the telescope itself and lets you use it in equatorial mode, without the field rotation…
After repeated trial shooting, stars sometimes blur at 60 sec exposure with auto guide. 30 sec or less, stars are stable and appear as dots. Consistently good results are obtained with live stacking of 30 seconds or less. Upload photos of…
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…
This adapter aids in balancing a ZWO Seestar S30 or S50 smart telescope over the center of gravity of the tripod when used in equatorial (EQ) mode using an adjustable EQ wedge. Say goodbye to field rotation and hello to zenith imaging…
Introduction The original design of the “Sunquest” sundial was derived from a traditional armillary sphere, featuring an axis parallel to that of the Earth and multiple nested rings representing latitude, longitude, the celestial equator,…

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…
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…
The MountOne Printed Equatorial Tripod (PET). The PET features adjustable legs, an integrated spirit level, and polar alignment for latitudes between 30-90°. Adjusters at the top of the legs level the tripod, referencing a spirit level in…
this is a very fast remix of the great Equatorial_mount_for_Dwarf_II_Telescope D2 6130910 by VIctor Gabriel (kudos to him) I modified it for my position (ROME, ITALY) that is about 42 degree and made some micro editing adding here and…

The example .stl is for Prague. Insert a latitude, longitude, and local time into equatorial_sundial.scad to generate for a different location. When oriented north-south facing the equator, the facet edges mark hour boundaries. The…
A compact DIY harmonic German equatorial mount designed for lightweight astrophotography setups. The mount is based on the Fysetc E4 v1.0 controller board running OnStepX firmware. Update May 24th, 2026: Added a Fysetch holder - a dumb…
This is a mobile phone mount for an equatorial mount. It fits a finder shoe or Vixen mount and is dedicated to the SynScan Pro App for polar alignment. Category: Physics & Astronomy
An insert an cap that adapts an olympic weight plate to an M12 threaded rod that I am using as a counterweight for my CG-2 equatorial telescope mount. This requires two M12 hex nuts to clamp the weight along the counterweight shaft.
Purpose First step when aligning an equatorial mount is a rough alignment of the rotational axis, polaris in the northern hemisphere. The more precise the better for next steps. With a laser beam exactly along the axis of rotation rough…
