StarSense for Skywatcher/Orion mounts - Cloudy Nights
2016年1月15日 · Page 1 of 4 - StarSense for Skywatcher/Orion mounts - posted in Mounts: Well it looks like they finally made a StarSense option for Skywatcher/Orion mounts. Adorama lists it as Preorder.

Orion Mounts - Cloudy Nights
2021年10月20日 · Orion Mounts - posted in Mounts: About a month ago I recommended the Orion Astroview mount to a friend for his 90mm refractor. I sent him a link and it was $319. I’ve had this mount about 10 years for my TV85 and it’s been a nice, trouble free platform for visual. He said he would probably get the Astroview in a couple of weeks. He wrote back today that it’s now $350. I remember paying ...
Meade vs. Celestron vs. Orion - Mounts - Cloudy Nights
2007年11月2日 · The Orion wins big time in terms of build quality. All the gears are brass instead of plastic and it has much better fit and finish. Tracking is more accurate and it is much more quiet than the Meade. I don't have much experience with the Celestron mounts. The Orion Atlas is the best mount out there for under $1500 bar none IMO.

2019年10月12日 · Specifically, Orion SynScan mounts do not require a home position but Sky-Watcher SynScan mounts do. Also note that the FreedomFind dual encoding will not work with StarSense.

Spare parts source for Orion mounts? - Cloudy Nights
2021年9月23日 · I have 2 Orion Atlas EQ-G mounts. Most of the mechanical parts like bearings, bolts and stepper motors are standard off the shelf components.

Modifying the Orion AstroView EQ-3 - Mounts - Cloudy Nights
2007年2月19日 · Modifying the Orion AstroView EQ-3 - posted in Mounts: I just acquired an Orion AstroView EQ3 mount as an upgrade to my previous EQ-2. For the record, this new mount is in near-mint condition, and was only setup and used once or twice before I bought it. Anyone who owns this mount, knows that the tripod STINKS. There is no nicer way to say it...
Orion EQ-26 Mount Review - Cloudy Nights
2023年4月1日 · Orion EQ-26 Mount Review - posted in Discussion of CN Articles, Reviews, and Reports: I would recommend the mount to anyone that wants a stable mount with tracking, but does not require Go-To. While I cannot speak to any long astrophotography tracking, it seemed well enough for visual and short exposure astrophotography which suits my [current] purpose. This looks to be a keeper.Click here to ...
