I’m so glad I stayed until the end . Except now I want one haha

Thank you so much. The instructions that come with the Redcat for removing the focuser knob are terrible and impossible to follow. Your video made it clear.

Thanks, really glad it was helpful! I didn’t even get any instructions with mine!

Cool info, note that it's suggested to use some LocTite (Brand Name in US) it takes a very small drop to pervent the small set screws from coming loose when temps change or thru the night of imaging. It's not permanent, here in the USA it's blue as they make RED Don't use as it needs heat to remove the small set screws, where the normal blue will be undone easily. I saw in 1 of you Solar Videos that you call it Thread locker...Agreed for what these items cost should be used! Also ZWO in the first few years did include "Thread locker set screws in the EAF box, but stopped as just about every ZWO EAF video on KZread they did not use them....LOL

Wonderfully helpful video. I have the Redcat 51 WIFD, and you were able to clear up where the two hidden screw were hiding 😊 Muchos Gracias

Really glad it was helpful! It took me longer that I care to admit to do it myself 😄

Wonderful video...hope the weather conditions co-operate, clear skies

A word of warning about the 2 screws at around 2 minutes 50 seconds, from my experience. Do not totally unscrew or remove the 2 hidden screws, just loosen them slightly and you can slide the knob off. If you unscrew them too far they could fall out under the knob and jam the mechanism!

Great Video. This one will go into my "will be needed in the future" information library. A ZWO REDCAT is on my wish list.

Love the plushie, glad it's not just me that's amused by the simple things in life😉Nice job explaining the EAF install, I know the hidden grub screws trips up a lot of people.

Thanks! Yes I know to a lot of folks it was straightforward but I’ve pretty much never encountered hidden grub screws on anything so I wished there was more detailed explanation. After the tail demo, the plushie is now on the dog’s hitlist so it lives very high on a shelf 😁

Its a genius design but instructions were never their strong point 😂 You saved me a brain meltdown 🙏

Glad it’s helpful!

I dont have the scope but enjoyed the video . Its all knowledge gain at the end of the day

I have the 51 WIFD, and what I did to fix that not setting flat is to 3d print an adapter that replaces the vertical plate the EAF attaches too. It moves it 180 Degree and made storage a lot easier.

love these vids, Ivan! :-)

Great video

When you removed the grub screw to get to the two hidden screws so you could remove the thermometer, you did not show reinstalling that top grub screw after tightening down the EAF coupler. Did you not replace that top grub screw? Hope that made sense. Thanks for the video. Just ordering the 61 WIFI. I am guessing I should order some spacers to fit between the scope and the dovetail plate. Enjoyed your video.

Hi! No, I didn’t replace that grub screw, instead I used that hole as an additional mounting point for the EAF mounting plate! Hope that makes sense? Good luck with your 61, I guess spacers do make sense if you want to keep the thermometer or want the EAF not to sit below the dovetail!

@@CellistOnTheRoof thanks. Makes perfect sense.

for me it's the helicopter tail lol

大変良い動画で参考にさせていただきましたが、難しすぎて、温度計側のノブが外せんでした 外側のネジを外し、その中にある一つ目のネジを緩め、二つ目のネジを回そうとすると全く回りません また、もう一度一つ目のネジを回そうとしましたがこれも回りません、かなり謎です もうだめだと諦めました。私が不器用だからかもしれませんが、redcat61 へEAFの取り付けは難易度が高すぎます ちなみredcat51Ⅲも持っており、そちらも同じでうまく外せませんでした😂 残念ですが次に買う予定のAskarのFRA500にEAFは利用しようかなあと考えています

Hi there! I agree it can really be tricky with the internal screws. I think the important part is after the first screw to turn the knob very slowly while keeping the screwdriver touching the bottom to feel when it “sinks” into the second screw. If it doesn’t turn at all, maybe you’re not exactly on it! Good luck!

Thanks for the video! After the installation I noticed that my focus knob doesn’t travel anymore the full range. The ReDCat 61 has the focus marking on the side from 0 to 50. After installing the EAF mine now goes to about 45. Did you have this issue?

Hi! I can’t say I’ve noticed any difference in my focuser travel with the EAF, either with the old helical focuser on the 51mm or the new WIFD 61mm. But with the correct spacing at the back, I’ve never really needed any range!
