2023年4月1日 · Page 1 of 2 - ZWO AM5 Review - posted in Mounts: This will be admittedly an early review of my ZWO AM5 Mount I purchased and received about a week ago.

2023年10月29日 · Zwo am3 vs am5? - posted in Beginning Deep Sky Imaging: I have an 8” SCT evolution, Nikon camera, and a 70-200 zoom lens. I’ve taken some photos using the Nikon and 8” SCT.

It fills half the trunk of the tiny car when camping with scouts ...

I think that means it does not know if it is in equatorial or alt/az mode. I always use equatorial, so how can I get this green/red to stop? And put the mount in equatorial mode permanently? Tom
