  2. Is there a detailed mount description available for download ?

    in ASA DDM85, 100, 200, 500

    Hello Waldemar and Bernard,

     

    thank you for the answer...

     

     

     

     

    Regarding to the OK Controller.. It is not really clear to me..

     

    In the upper part of the file * there is listed a "OK Controller" (DDM85-S DDM85-SL) .

    *  http://www.astrosysteme.com/download/asa-ddm85/?wpdmdl=2732

     

    If this means focuser controller: Does this mean a focuser controller is already added to (/ inside) the mount electronic or is this just an external controller box which is just added to the mounts packet.. ?

     

    The PA of the DDM85 Basic, as well as the former DDM65 is done by a tip/tilt system. the N/S tip/tilt screws are for latitude and the E/W tip/tilt screws are for azimuth adjustment. To me it is a bit counter intuitive, but it works just as well as the 'normal' adjustment system.

    Waldemar

    N/S latitude tip/tilt align is clear to me.

     

    Thanks for the explanation Waldemar , but hard to understand - for me - how the mount will be PA adjusted/ aligned in east/ west direction with

    perpendicular screws. Maybe it is a special mechanism which cant be seen on the photos .I was searching for that but had no luck so far, the
    resolution of the technical drawing doesn't allow to increase this picture much.
     
    Regards

    Hello,

     

    I am wondering if there is a detailed mount description available for download ?

     

    I was searching in the Google-drive inside the folder mounts and checked also some download links but couldn't find much, but some basic information which looks more like a flyer,  maybe I just missed the right link ?

     

    Some of my questions:

     

    If I am right the polar alignment with a DDM85 BASIC for altitude is done by tilting the plate between the mount and the pier with some kind of push / pull screws, right ?

     

    How to align the DDM85 BASIC in azimuth ? (I didn't see any azimuth adjusting knobs / screws in the pictures I have found so far)

     

    What is an OK Controller ?

     

    How it comes the carrying capacity between the DDM85 models is that different if they use the same "hardware" but motors ?

     

     

     

    Thanks in advance

     

    Regards
