Nice appearance and seems well designed. But I’m stalled waiting for nice weather and a crispy night to use the telescope.
This piece of kit totally changed my outlook on astrophotography. The app is relatively easy to get started on and has work perfectly. The one thing about this controller is that it only works with ZWO gear and a short list of DSLR cameras. Not a problem for me as I choose go down the ZWO path with no regrets.
Totally impressed by this mount( and ZWO in general) which I use in conjunction with the ASI AIR Plus as a part of my light weight setup. Fit and finish is top notch and it makes a very satisfying click when powered on. The weight of my gear used on this mount is about half of the uncounterbalanced maximum so it purrs right along....very happy customer.
Great little guide scope! The William Optics UniGuide 32mm is compact, lightweight, and nicely built. I paired mine with the ZWO ASI220MM Mini guide camera and ASIAIR Plus, and it's been a great addition to my portable astrophotography setup. Easy to mount, easy to focus, and does exactly what I need it to do. Very happy with the quality and performance.
I used this plate in conjunction with a SmallRig Quick Release Mount Plate Clamp to attach a DSLR to my ZWO AM3N mount. This combination worked very well.
ZWO quality shoe that I was using to mount my guide scope on my mount. completely satisfied.
I could not be happier with this brand. This strap was for my guide scope and works as advertised. I really like the flexible cable.
I was 100% sure I needed this pier extension but purchased it out of an abundance of caution for use with my ZWO AM3N/TC40 mount tripod combination. The additional height has not hurt the stability of the mount at all. Simple to assemble and install.
I haven't had a chance to use the tilt plate in the field yet, but my first impressions are very positive. The build quality is excellent, with solid construction and a nice finish. Installation was straightforward, and following ZWO's instructions made the process simple. Everything fit together nicely. Looking forward to putting it to work with my ASI2600MC Pro.
Moving from my Canon R8 to the ZWO ASI2600MC Pro has been a big step up in my astrophotography journey. The dedicated cooled camera, combined with the ASIAIR, makes the whole imaging process much more seamless. I've only had a few opportunities to use it so far, but I'm already impressed with the image quality and how well everything works together. There's definitely a learning curve moving into the ZWO world, but so far I'm very happy I made the switch!
Really impressed with the quality of this filter drawer. It feels solid, well-made, and nicely machined. I haven't had a chance to use it yet, but everything looks and fits great. Looking forward to putting it to work with my astrophotography setup.
Really happy with the ZWO EAF Pro. It works exactly as advertised and integrates seamlessly with the ASIAIR. Installation and setup was straightforward, autofocus works great, and everything just works the way it should. Couldn't ask for much more!
I haven't had a chance to use the Antlia ALP-T 5nm dual-band filter yet, but I'm looking forward to putting it to work with my ZWO ASI2600MC Pro camera on both my Askar SQA70 and Celestron EdgeHD 11 telescopes. My plan is to use it primarily for imaging emission nebulae, capturing the fine details of hydrogen-alpha and oxygen-III emissions while reducing light pollution. I'm particularly excited to see how it performs on targets like the Veil Nebula. The ability to use one filter across both telescope setups is a real advantage.
Great product, will be using for years to come. Additionally, when Canada Post messed up the delivery- they sent a another promptly.
I am giving 5 stars because this company was extremely helpful. The spacer ring is very well built. Unfortunately, it was not right for my rig. That is entirely my fault since I did not measure the ring’s outer diameter. But I am very grateful to them for trying to help me and will definitely consider them for future purchases.
Solid manual Alt/Az mount. Very solid and smooth manual performance so far with a 5 Kg Maksutov payload over three viewing sessions. The Mak just clears the Az head allowing over head observation without having to offset the Alt head 45 degrees. The screws on the fine motion control knobs tend to get loose quickly (as I expected). I keep them in place and keep them from backing out with a trimmed zip tie on each ****. Quick response to questions from the All-Star team. Would recommend if you are looking for a basic solid manual mount. Clear skies!
The roughs were nice size and quality. After tumbling, had some beautiful stones with amazing patterns. Will buy again!
THe ZWO Pier fit my ZWO tripod perfectly, no surprise there. My order was shipped out the Monday morning after my weekend order, and since I live in Calgary it arrived the next day. Service has always been consistently fast for me from All Star.
Still won’t take pictures through heavy clouds so my review is still ongoing. So far though I have a great picture of M31 with about 4 hours on the scope. The photos seem to be a larger format so should be able to get reasonable size photos which will look very impressive. I have or should now say had a serious problem with vibrations from trains and with the S50 could only shoot with 10 seconds now I’m shooting with 30 seconds perfectly. I have a lot of problems in my area with moisture so waiting to run a battery test with l the dew heater and no battery backup. Stay tuned.
Friendly staff, available product and really only place to buy it. Lots of tumbling rough.
Happy to find these Televue rings in stock. High quality rings and it’s nice to use original manufacture accessory’s to go with my refractor. Quick to order and check out delivery as promised. If you haven’t dealt with Allstar telescopes give them a try. I have a local telescope store in my hometown and still order out of province because of service.
