SharpStar 61EDPH II Astrophotography Telescope Setup - Complete Customization Overview

Here is an overview of my customized SharpStar 61EDPH II telescope rig that I will soon be using for some additional wider-field astrophotography. The components are all secured via expected mounting hardware or 15lb outdoor velcro as necessary. I have customized all cabling (12v DC power, Dew Strap power, EQDirect USB Serial) when possible to match my specific needs and replaced all USB cables with the shortest possible lengths available. This telescope setup includes all required components necessary to just pick-up and head to the field. Extremely portable and easy to get going! Total weight of this rig is 9.0lbs after adding a ZWO Filter Drawer and my ASI533MC-Pro camera. This New Setup Includes: Includes: Scope, Tube Ring/Short Dovetail, Reducer, Rack-and-Pinion Focuser Additional Hardware Mentioned in this Video (to complete the build): My 12v DC Cable Customization Video: My EQDirect Cable Build Video: My Dew Strap Power Cable Customization Video: My Field Battery Box Build Video: My Remote MiniPC Build Video: My MiniAP Tethered Internet Video: For more of my Astrophotography related content, go to: I am an Amazon and OptCorp Affiliate and may be compensated if you use the links above even though it will cost you no additional money for your own purchases. --------CHAPTERS-------- 0:00 - Introduction 0:44 - First Look 1:45 - Detailed Deep Dive 4:47 - Wrapping Up
