I’m trying out a new mount for astrophotography – A ZWO AM5. It is somewhat unique in being a harmonic drive instead of a worm gear. It doesn’t need a counterweight, and there is no backlash. It is also really quiet. I’ll be using an ASIAir Plus to control it as well as the guide camera and primary camera. With autoguiding and good polar alignment I should be able to get some good photon collections.

Looking forward to some clear skies and experimenting with this setup.
