Hi,
As some of you know I got two new mounts in April and sometime in August / September this year I finished installing them.
Now that I have time 24/7 I did some tests with this new mounts, two iOptorn CEM 120EC2, in order to see how good they track in Solar tracking rate.
I have to say they are fantastic and now the Solar guider prototypes I built beginning this year has become obsolete
Below the link to 3 videos I made these days ...
I just let the mount run without adjusting anything
Thanks for looking

Re: Sun time lapse
Hi Rainer,
Great setup you have there. Like the tennis ball at the end of the CW shaft. NIce time lapse. Looking forward to seeing more.
