Description
Customer Reviews
Black-CAT Mount connects ZWO ASIAIR, EAF and guide scope to the William Optics RedCat 51 and SpaceCat 51 telescopes. The mount includes precise gears that allows the EAF to control the focus of the scope.
The benefit of the gears compared to belt is that the gears don't bend the tube of the telescope as the tensioned belt does. Backlash of the Black-CAT Mount gears is minuscule compared to the backlash of the EAF gear box.
Designed and made in Finland, all Black-CAT Mount parts are made of carbon enforced plastic and the mount has been tested to work in cold environment (even below
-25 Celsius or -13 Fahrenheit
) for months with no issues. The mount and all the parts including the teeth of the gears are coated with 2-component resin (2K) for extra hardness, durability and resistance against elements. The plastic used in the mount withstands heat up to
+50 Celsius
(122 Fahrenheit) without bending or deforming.
Perfect for Canadian Winters
Black-CAT Mount fits perfectly to RedCat 51 and SpaceCat 51 scopes with the old and new style William Optics Single Mounting Rings. The
Black-CAT Mount is easy to install and all necessary screws, nuts and washers to connect ASiair, EAF, Vixen style shoes for guide scope and William Optics Saddle Handle are included with the Black-CAT Mount.
Black-CAT Mount is made in Finland and the kit includes these parts:
*ZWO ASIAIR-Pro and EAF not included

Mr.
I was worried that this would not be rigid enough, and introduce additional focusing backlash. After installing on my RedCat along with a new EAF, I get a smooth parabola shape in the auto-focus routine withing SGP. Works well!

Great addition!
Very happy with it. Makes the balancing easier with the ASIair on one side and the AEF on the other side while the guiding scope sits on top. Makes the focusing a breeze. I would recommend to anyone who want to save time setting up and get more time imagining.

Very good product.
I saw this on a YouTube channel. I liked the fact the focus motor sits on one side and the ASIAIR sits on the other side thus well balanced. You still have room in the middle for a guide scope. It was easy to setup and install, well made and an additional gear was a bonus. To make it easier I would focus your scope during the day on a distant object then install the gear so the teeth of the ring that goes around the scope will be roughly in the centre where the gear will mesh with the teeth of the ring. This device made setting up the scope a breeze. I spend more time imaging and less time setting up.
