Just to let everyone know that there will be clear sky for a while!

My old electronic focuser died last night and I had to order a ZWO EAF to take its place. They are back ordered for a few weeks, so enjoy it while you can!

No ,sorry, my brand new ASI2600MC Pro is very clearly outweighing your focuser. I got it 4 weeks ago and have not seen a star in the sky since. And the forecast is showing no change soon. So thanks for your effort but I'm afraid its graded as "could do better"

Take notice of my clear sky chart in my profile.....

It looks like clear sailing for you Gordon!

Foggy rainy here but it's supposed to clear starting tomorrow.

the clouds have all moved to canada.

Aha you have one? I ordered the ASI2600MM specifically because we need rain here, badly. The rainfall is scheduled for the end of this month, OPT said, that's just about next week. I think we are covered for a while.

Not sure, Gordon. This shifted jet stream has made hash of things for this past new Moon cycle.

Well,

I’m not one to take failure well. I just kept thinking I could fix the one motor focuser. I had built 2 before this one, which I had made by the same person “myFocuserpro”. I was 99% sure where the problem was, so I dug threw my junk box and found a couple of the different drivers I had played with when I was building my own. Sure enough I had one! Changed it out, adjusted the current and bang! It’s working! I’m keeping my order in for the ZWO however! I have another use for this one also.
