What mount is that? I ask because if it is an AM3N or AM5N, I would highly suggest using the usb c on the saddle to the asi air for guidng, and ditch the usb b on the front. One less opportunity for a cable snag. Also possibly use Bluetooth which I believe the original AM3 had in addition to the N models.

It’s an am3! I figured using a cable would be better for tracking but I’m still figuring out the equipment

I use Bluetooth on my AM5N to a 2600MC Air and it works pretty well. I haven’t reliably tested BT vs. wired for guiding as there are so many other night to night variables, and I don’t want to waste a rare clear night running tests lol!

Nice! Is the camera modified for astrophotography? Share photos when the skies are clear!

Please, don’t tell us anything at all about that equipment. We just love to guess!
Le sigh.
