Even works for higher focal lengths, up to roughly 300mm. For questions, discussions and stuff head over to [r/openastrotech](https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenAstroTech/) Please get the Arduino Code here: https://github.com/OpenAstroTech/OpenAstroTracker/releases A lot could be done by refining the Arduino code, PC control software and ASCOM driver. Sadly my coding skills are very limited, if you'd like to help me improve the code (or the part design) hop on over to [GitHub](https://github.com/OpenAstroTech/OpenAstroTracker) There are currently parts that will make the mount work in a range of 15 to 55° N&S. Polar alignment is not as easy in the south, you will need either platesolving or drift alignment. No, this wont work with a telescope. Max length of the lens is under 30cm roughly. Also check out the [OpenAstroGuider](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4181640) This may be the wrong place, but i'm also considering selling the tracker as a readily printed kit. If youre interested, visit [this site](https://openastrotech.com/products/) Some pictures i've taken with this mount are on IG [@fabianuehleke](https://www.instagram.com/fabianuehleke/) All of them taken with cheap vintage lenses I will add things for the Tracker in [this collection](https://www.thingiverse.com/openastrotech/collections/things-for-the-openastrotracker). If you made a thing, comment with a link and i'll add it. **A collection of all guides can be found [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenAstroTech/comments/gc4pmr/all_current_guides/)** ------------------------------------ Updates: * 15.06.20 -fix for 04_rollmounts_2020base missing holes * 14.06.20 -fix part 14 for printed pulleys, from colliding with the belt * 11.06.20 -added parts for aluminum base * 06.06.20 -updated 11_low to v8. Fixes not being able to tighten the belt with 20T pulleys -updated 200x200 printers ring parts to latest version * 20.05.20 -see [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenAstroTech/comments/gnjsvu/a_whole_bunch_of_updated_parts/) post * 10.04.20 -updated the files for 200x200 printers with the v2 ring * 17.03.20 -added klwill1192's lens adapter for big lenses with the guidescope -some changes to the RA wheel, see [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenAstroTech/comments/fkcdho/improvements_to_the_splitring_design_and/) * 14.03.20 -added part 14 for 200x200 printers. Thanks nate_drake for pointing that out * 13.03.20: -added adaptions of parts 11 and 14 (the motor mounts) with the addendum "_low". These will fit with purchased GT2 pulleys. -updated the lens ring SCAD. It has a new value "length" for lenses that have little space to mount it. * 10.03.20: -added a .rar with parts that will fit in a 200x200mm printer. -Changed part 10 to fit a bit tighter to part 08 * 26.02.20: updated Arduino code to v1.2.5 now with support for southern hemisphere.
