Unboxing my Sky-watcher 150i and setting it up on ZWO TC40 Tripod with PE200 Pier Extension
I recently picked up a Sky-watcher 150i. This is a video showing my how I was able to attach it to a ZWO TC40 tripid (with the PE200 pier extension). Not a professional by any stretch, but hopefully this helps someone else interested in some of these details.
I also talk a bit about how I'm shifting from a Sky-watcher EQ6R Pro mount, and how I was also able to attach my Sky-watcher Star Adventurer 2i on the ZWO tripod as well.
I cover a bit on setting up the new mount, and then some of the cable management with one of my refractor setups (with a mini PC and pegasus powerbox).
The 2.5mm to 2.1mm DC adapters I got:
