I have had 2 recent complete failure of the shutter mechanism with the battery not charging. The existing fabric and magnet mechanism isn't reliable. Even when the charger can see the circuit and tries to charge the battery, it doesn't charge. Going out in the dome to find a dead shutter isn't ideal! Also, the original hanging magnets used to catch in the rotation gear if the shutter wasn't opened before rotating, the new modification also removes this problem. At the end of the video, I have also a starless and starview of the Pacman Nebula NGC 281 that I captured on the 18th August 2021. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I upload my images to Telescopius, and you can find my profile at: https://telescopius.com/profile/dave-auld My other social locations are; https://www.daves-astrophotography.com/ https://www.facebook.com/daves.astrophotography https://twitter.com/daveauld https://www.instagram.com/dave_auld/ The main equipment I use is; Celestron CGX mount Celestron Edge 11 Celestron RASA 11 Bresser 8" Newtonian Bresser AR90s/500 ZWO ASI2600MC-P Colour camera ZWO 60/280 guidescope ZWO ASI120mm guide camera ZWO ASI174mini guide camera Unihedron Sky Quality Meter (SQM) NexDome Observatory #Astrophotography #DavesAstrophotography #Cyprus
