Better charge a US $ 10.00 membership fee per year and so there would be a guranteed support of US $ 36,870.00 :mrgreen:

Accounting fees would be higher then the income ... :lol:

Re: Raspberry

Hi, Just looked also at the Sesto Sensor focuser and well that is a bigger project then I tought. Some holes in the PST case and a 3D printed adapter could do the trick but what I do not like from the Sesto Sensor focuser is the rigid coupler which cpuples the focuser shaft with the focuser knob.

Well I have to say that if that is the case it is time you get one. Focusing in the Sun imaging business is one of the most important parts for good images. IMHO

For the price of a Raspberry you can get a good Mini PC with included Windows 10Pro software.

May I ask what advantage do you expect getting a Raspberry?

Excuse my ignorance but are there video acquiring software for Raspberry?
