I had a simple dream: put two giant telescopes on one mount and become a god-tier astrophotographer.
What actually happened: I may have created a gravitational threat to local infrastructure and possibly broke a guide camera I dropped before even powering anything on.
This video has it all — reckless optimism, questionable engineering, emotional damage, and way too many bolts.
Enjoy this tale of ambition, imbalance, and the moment my mount silently begged for mercy. 🔭🧠💥

Question for #astrodon community. I’ve got an #asiairplus a #celestron c8 edge on an #AVX mount and a #zwo asi #224mc camera.
The focal length of the c8 means that the Asiair can’t #platesolve with the camera attached. What are my best options here?
A #guidescope - platesolve and goto with the camera attached to the guidescope then switch the camera to the c8 once in position
As above, but buy a separate camera for the guidescope and use that to platesolve and #guide
Anything else?
