QHY Minicam8 + OAG (Off Axis Guider) = Tiny Astrophotography Paradise!
My Patreon: / cuivlazygeek My Merch Store: https://cuiv.myspreadshop.com/ Note that I missed a step in the installation: The OAG can to be screwed on the camera body with 2 screws, not just the ring. This helps avoid unwanted rotation later. See QHY guide: • QHY miniCAM8-OAG installation Minicam 8 review: • This makes MONOCHROME imaging AFFORDABLE -...
