Pretty wild how much even in the last 10 years the gear has changed. Especially with wifi devices and phones to control equipment with for portable setups.

Great tutorial Matt! Whatever mount you are using sure seems a lot easier to use than my Celestron CGX, where I have to spend extra time with the Polemaster. I need to figure out what is the best mount and good quality scope to use. My C-11 is fine for planets, but way to heavy for me to cart off to a dark sky location. I have to figure this out and make trades/purchases so my 64 year old body can't take it anymore. Good public outreach via social media as well. I am so in awe of you my friend!

Thanks Byron! Ya the Takahashi EM-20 mount is a treat to use and I was doing unguided exposures. Their polar finderscope is very accurate on the mount and I like how portable it is. The 106mm and this mount would be a great combo for star parties and public outreach astrophotography work!

Polemaster is the only way to go. I’m 6ft 3in and will never crawl in the dirt again 😊. Also why doesn’t tak make a 90 degree adapter for the polar scope would make it much easier and quicker but if tak made it the cost would be much higher than a Polemaster 😊

Excellent Matt!!! I just ordered a fsq 106 and waiting... I am using SW EQ6R with a ASKAR (Sharpstar) 76edph with ZWO Family for my private use. Wanna purchase a Taka Mount for the remote observatory. Thanks

Wonderful image you produced there. Is this a suitable telescope for simply viewing the planets and nebulae?

This scope is mainly meant for widefield astrophotography, but they also have some options for longer focal lengths that would be good for planets.

No guidescope? Is it because of the Takahashi mount? Or just brave! :)

An excellent and very helpful video for Tak mounts owners like myself. Thank you very much, Matt! I didn´t know SkyFi does work with Temma 2 mount! What is your experience using SkyFi with Tak mount - no problems at all or are there some issues to learn first?

Thanks for watching Miroslav! Really enjoy working with that scope and even shooting unguided subs =) I haven't had issues with the SkyFi and Temma2, which made it a fun and portable system without the need for a laptop/scope control computer during the video.

Thanks for replying Matt, I checked out and SkyFi web site is also claiming their device does support Temma2 so I just ordered one. I will let you know how it would work for me.

On the model I used they don't, but I believe now there is a goto controller available.
