Description
This is a saddle and plate adapter for mounting a QHYCCD PoleMaster camera on an Explore Scientific iEXOS-100 equatorial GoTo mount.
See images for assembly instructions
Some notes:
- Do knot use knurled-head screws, other than for the thumbscrews. The knurled heads are wider and won't fit, especially the 3 screws for the camera which have very little clearance with the camera body.
- Plate is keyed so that it can be flipped 180°, should you prefer the connector on the other side. Plate can probably be adapted for other types of polar alignment cameras.
- Saddle is a snug fit by design. Expect some resistance while sliding it in until the raised area in the back clicks in place.
- The M3 screws labeled "C" should preferably be thumbscrew-style and should only be finger-tight.
I provided two models for the saddle, one for FDM printing (meant to be printed upright) and another with some material removed destined for MSLA resin printers.
